The manager remains as motivated as ever, as quest for seventh league title in eight years kicks off at Chelsea
Guardiola’s future will be constantly running in the background until either he announces he will leave once his contract expires in the summer or signs an extension, but in the meantime there are matches to win. Records – and charges – will be brought up every time City reach the top of the table or progress through a round of a cup competition., but can they win all five? No, let’s not be silly.
Unlike the majority of his players, Guardiola has had a summer where he could enjoy peace and a trip to Wimbledon. “You arrive at the end of the season you are always a little bit tired, though when you fight for the title, you are less tired,” Guardiola says. “When you take a break in your job and disconnect a little bit, you bring energy back – it is necessary. To work better, you have to disconnect. You have to relax your brain, your mind. Think about other things, do other things.
Along with success on the pitch, Guardiola can boast the educating of a new batch of Premier League managers. Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta worked under him before heading to the Emirates and his opposite number at Stamford Bridge, Enzo Maresca, was previously a City assistant before taking over at Chelsea via winning the Championship with Leicester.“But we have to look at ourselves and what we can do better as a team, where we can improve, always … always,” he said.
