Breaking: Man City calls Pep Guardiola for emergency meeting amid rumor that Brazil national team is eyeing him as his contract expires at the end of 2024/2025 season
The Inside Gist:
- The road to getting things right ahead of the remaining matches Manchester City would play before the year runs out is very pertinent
- On the news, World Soccer Talk reports that Man City have called an ‘emergency’ meeting with coach Pep Guardiola
- Reports from Relevo’s Matteo Moretto suggest that contract renewal negotiations for Guardiola will be the primary focus of the ‘emergency meeting’
- There’s progress because, now, the club gets to have a thorough conversation about the losses and plan out a more effective strategy, especially ahead of the match against Tottenham come November 23, 2024.
Calling for an ‘emergency’ meeting with manager Pep Guardiola is one way to go about actualizing more positive results in the remaining matches. Man City’s management knows this and so Pep has been called upon. Things need to be fixed.
Keep in mind: Manchester City plays against Tottenham on November 23, 2024, and against Feyenoord on November 26, 2024, so a lot is at stake.
Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Brighton at the Amex Stadium keeps City at risk of not getting enough points to play longer in the tournament. Although Erling Haaland tried to get that point up during the last game, Brighton wouldn’t back down, either.
On the news of the last match: Brighton’s late goals from Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley sealed another away loss for the Cityzens. Apparently, though, one of the major discussions to be looked at in the ‘emergency’ meeting is Guardiola’s contract renewal negotiations.
For what it’s worth: Brazil’s National Team was said to have been looking at having Guardiola move over to their team. That was previously reported, however, it’s been confirmed to be false.
Man City remains determined to retain Guardiola (their manager), aiming for a contract extension that would see him complete a decade at the Etihad Stadium.
Quite interesting. Plus, his current contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 season, so the need for an ‘emergency’ meeting with Guardiola could be linked with the rumored Brazil national team lookout. Brazil refuted that rumor to be false already, but anything could happen, so City are not taking chances.
Take home points: Manchester City would be back to what it used to be. Pep Guardiola’s almost expired contract would likely be renewed and Martin Zubimendi would be joining City next year as Rodri’s replacement. So, for now, Cityzens might want to start hoping for the best outcomes.
Cityzens Comments: How do you see Man City’s move of calling for an emergency meeting with Guardiola? Do you think his contract should be renewed or City need a new manager? Let’s talk about all of that in the comments section, Cityzens.
