Guardiola: 'The last eight years at Man City, it’s over'

On Friday night, Manchester City added yet another trophy to their cabinet by beating Fluminense 4-0 in the Club World Cup final.

Speaking after the game, an emotional Pep Guardiola appeared to hint that his quest in English football might be drawing to a close.

"We had the feeling we would close the chapter, we won all the titles, there’s nothing else to win," he said, as per The Guardian.

"I had a feeling the job was done, it was over."

"Enzo [Maresca] helped us to win the treble, Mikel [Arteta] in my staff," said an emotional Guardiola.

"All the players from day one. Vincent [Kompany] to Kyle [Walker] as captains, all the players helped us to achieve something incredible to be here and to play this tournament.

"Now it’s Christmas time, buy another book and start to write it again. The last eight years, it’s over."

Guardiola's current contract with Man City expires in 2025. However, there's little doubt that he will be allowed to go before that if he wants that.

As a team that was beaten by City to two Premier League titles by a single point, Liverpool will probably be the biggest beneficiaries of Guardiola's departure.
