Guardiola Reassures Fans He Could Sign New Contract Amid Klopp Exit—-Pep Guardiola has once more opened up the prospect of signing a new deal with Manchester City following his side’s FA Cup win at Tottenham.

On the day his adversary Jurgen Klopp revealed he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, Guardiola – whose side defeated Spurs courtesy of Nathan Ake’s late goal – says he could extend his stay at the Etihad.

When asked whether he still has the energy to manage at the top-level following Klopp’s news, the Spaniard, whose current deal expires at the end of next season, said: ‘I’m fine. There’s still one more year, I want to do it – and maybe I will extend. I try to manage.

‘What we did last season, we have to do more and more now – it’s not going to happen. One step at a time.

‘I see my team every single day and the team is there. They still argue between each other. The competition in training. They want to win. The focus they have, How they talk. How they communicate. How they celebrate.

‘Of course we are going to lose games but I have the duty to see how we perform. Even I’m surprised at my players because even after all they have done they are still there. That makes me feel so proud to be part of this club.’

Guardiola will become the only manager to have won the Premier League title when Klopp departs, but the City chief added: ‘There will be another one, always. Hopefully [in] many years I will leave here but my time here Liverpool have been the one. At Anfield many memories to tell for many reason it is not necessary to tell because everyone knows it.’

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou refused to blame the referee for his side’s loss, despite goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario claiming he was fouled by Ruben Dias in the lead up to Ake’s’ goal.

‘The referee had a good look at so we have to accept it,’ said the Aussie.

‘We were just working as hard as possible to stay in the game and that wasn’t going to be enough tonight.’

BREAKING: Ex-Chelsea Captain César Azpilicueta Announces Retirement From Football—-Spanish defender brings curtain down on trophy-laden career after spells with Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla.

Former Chelsea FC captain César Azpilicueta has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 36.

The Spanish defender confirmed that he will hang up his boots at the end of the season, bringing an end to a remarkable career that spanned nearly two decades.

He shared this news via his social media handles.

Azpilicueta enjoyed his most successful years at Chelsea after joining the club from Marseille in 2012. During his 11-year spell at Stamford Bridge, he made more than 500 appearances and became the first player in the club’s history to win every major trophy available.

As Chelsea captain, Azpilicueta famously lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel, adding to Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup triumphs during his time in London.

Following his departure from Chelsea in 2023, the veteran defender spent two seasons with Atlético Madrid before joining Sevilla FC for the final chapter of his career.

Azpilicueta also represented Spain at international level, earning 44 senior caps and featuring in multiple FIFA World Cups and European Championships.

In an emotional farewell message, the defender admitted it was difficult to make the decision but thanked supporters, teammates, coaches and clubs who shaped his journey in football.

Tributes have since poured in from fans and former teammates, with many describing Azpilicueta as one of Chelsea’s greatest modern-day captains and one of the most respected defenders of his generation.

BREAKING: Shock Omissions as Palmer and Alexander-Arnold Miss England World Cup Selection—-Ex-Chelsea Manager Thomas Tuchel makes bold selection calls ahead of tournament in North America.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has made several major selection decisions after leaving Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold out of the Three Lions’ final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The omissions have quickly sparked debate among fans and pundits, with both players considered among England’s biggest talents in recent years.

According to reports, Tuchel opted for balance, tactical flexibility, and current form when finalising his 26-man squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Palmer’s exclusion comes despite the Chelsea star’s strong performances over the last two seasons, while Alexander-Arnold reportedly missed out due to tactical preferences and competition in defensive areas.

The squad announcement also saw several surprise inclusions, including Ivan Toney and Djed Spence, while experienced names such as Jordan Henderson earned recalls.

Other notable absentees include Harry Maguire and Phil Foden as Tuchel reshapes the squad ahead of England’s World Cup campaign.

England will head into the tournament hoping to end decades of hurt and finally lift the World Cup trophy for the first time since 1966.
