Pep Guardiola in no rush over future as Man City wait on decision

Even with a year left on his deal starting this summer, doubts persist about the path ahead.

And Flashscore insiders point to no solid pledge coming anytime soon.

Guardiola is unlikely to reveal whether he stays or departs until the season wraps up.

People near the matter say that the City boss himself lacks clarity on his choice, with a definitive verdict probably in May.

This ambiguity arrives during an intriguing phase of Citys campaign.

A month back, it looked like they might end without key trophies. But the tide has turned sharply.

Triumph against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, plus a convincing FA Cup quarter-final victory over Liverpool, has altered the landscape.

In the Premier League, City trail Arsenal by nine points with eight matches remaining, yet they hold a fixture to catch up.

Though the championship remains Arsenals to squander, the recent surge adds strain on the frontrunners.

A sweep of domestic honours is within reach for City, offering an ideal peak if Guardiola opts to exit.

That said, insiders note his choice will avoid outside influences or club demands for haste.

Citys leadership is said to back Guardiola completely and will refrain from pressing unless he initiates.

Their bond stays solid, giving the coach room to weigh his options after the seasons results emerge.

Guardiola has long planned to depart City on firm footing.

Quietly, backup strategies are underway, featuring Enzo Maresca, Xabi Alonso, and Vincent Kompany as top options if needed.
