Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano has made it clear Pep Guardiola won't be leaving the Etihad for the next two-and-a-half years at least.
Soriano has felt obliged to put an end to speculation surrounding Guardiola's future after some quotes from the City boss were misconstrued this week. Ahead of City's blockbuster clash with Arsenal on Friday, Guardiola was discussing how Mikel Arteta had left his role as Blues assistant coach to return to his former club as manager.
It's a decision Guardiola completely understood and said that if he was in an assistant role at City he would have jumped at the chance to join a club he loves and used to captain: Barcelona. "Everyone has dreams. I know he went to his club, a supporter, he was a captain there," he said.
