Pep Guardiola 'not planning early Manchester City exit'

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly intends to honour his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

With City sitting well adrift of leaders Liverpool in the Premier League title race, it has been suggested that the Spaniard could leave the club at the end of the campaign.

Guardiola is also yet to pen a fresh deal at the North-West giants, with his existing contract due to expire in the summer of 2021.

However, according to The Telegraph, Guardiola plans to remain at City for at least the next season-and-a-half, rather than contemplate a new challenge later this year.

The report adds that the 48-year-old is yet to decide whether to commit his long-term future to the club.

Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have previously been linked with an approach for Guardiola's services.
