Guardiola emphasised that discussing his future during the heat of competition negatively impacts the team, noting that a formal sit-down will occur once the campaign completely concludes. "I could say that I have one more year of contract, and with the conversations I've had for many, many years, always from my experience when you announce - whatever you announce - during the competition is a bad, bad result," Guardiola stated. He added: "And like you understand, the first person I have to talk to is my chairman [Khaldoon Al Mubarak], because we both decided when we finish the season we will sit and we will talk. And it's as simple as that, and after we will take the decision."
