Pep Guardiola appears to have backtracked on whether he would quit Manchester City if the club won an unprecedented treble over the next few weeks.
Having sealed the Premier League last weekend, Man City have the FA Cup final against Manchester United on the first Saturday of June, and the Champions League final against Inter Milan in Istanbul a week later.
Guardiola, 52, previously insisted that he would not leave the Etihad, even if his side achieved ultimate success in all three tournaments.
But in a new interview with Sky Sports, he was not consistent with that answer, and was instead cryptic about his future with the Citizens.
On being posed the question, he said: 'First of all, we have to win it. Then you will have to ask me the question, and I will tell you how I feel or how I think.
'We have games away in each competition to do it. The reality is, it's different. You can't tell me that to beat our city rivals United would be an easy game. What would happen against an Italian team, I don't feel the favourite. I'm thinking about that. If we achieve it, I will tell you. We will see what happens next season.'
In his pre-match conference ahead of Man City's trip to Brighton, Guardiola said: 'Right now I am not thinking about leaving, but who knows? But I am not thinking.'
He also called upon the Premier League to make a quick resolution on 115 rule breaches, which looks to overshadow Man City's success regardless of whatever else they achieve this season.
Guardiola said: 'Hopefully they are not so busy and the judges can see both sides and decide what is the best because, in the end, I know that what we won, we won on the pitch.
'Let's have it as soon as possible for the benefit of everyone.'
After the Premier League trophy lift following Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea, Man City play Brighton on Wednesday night before finishing the league season at Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
Six days later, they will contest the FA Cup final against city rivals Manchester United at Wembley, seven days ahead of the Inter Milan clash at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

Inzaghi should consult Mourinho on how to approach this game. if it was Mourinho coaching this inter team, I would bet that he would win this UCL final

Lol barca no rich owner but when pep manage that barca club, there are already many star players there
So what's your argument there, you just cannot accept that Pep is a good coach.So are there no stars in the current City squad? How much was Akanji, Phil,Dias, Haaland, Alvarez etc with the exception of Grealish?

You people are just confuse the same Barcelona team that did not win any single trophy 2 years prior his appointment.if there were stars there as you claim how come they finish 4th the previous season before he was appointed and the team was trophy less before he came ? In his first season he won sextuple
