Julian Alvarez is talented, no doubt. He's scored 11 goals and 9 assists when Haaland needs a break. This is impressive for a primary substitute. But Haaland is a force of nature, a goal-scoring machine, too. No surprise Alvarez doesn't start every game. Pep Guardiola's departure is rumored. He has a year left on his deal, but will he leave the Premier League's biggest salary? No, I disagree. Man City will stay even if Pep leaves. The world's greatest managers will want to coach them because they're a premier club. Let's relax, enjoy the game, and see what happens
Pep Guradiola has a contract until 2025. This means that Pep only has one year left and I heard rumors that Pep doesn't want to talk about a contract extension. This will make the sports media come up with a lot of rumors. This will also give fans worries. As you said, Pep has been at City since 2016 and has succeeded in making City one of Europe's giants. I think it would make sense if Pep decided to retire. He has already got everything in football and he just needs to directly train potential young players.
If you look at the confidence Pep Guardiola have not to be worry or distracted about his contract that is going to end next year, you will know that Manchester city management will do everything possible to make sure they retain their coach, because Pep Guardiola have more premier league titles to help Manchester city to win before he will leave to join other team. I think, some of the Manchester city fans know what will going to happen in that one year that remain for Pep Guardiola, which they know that if he can do what he did in this season to win premier League title again, his contract will be extended with huge amount of offer that will make him feel comfortable with the team. I don't think, Pep Guardiola will retire at his age now, because he will still like to try other teams to know if he can do what he did for Manchester city since 2016 till now before he can retire from football.
