Pep Guardiola has said he expects to return to Manchester City in some capacity in the future, signalling that his ties to the Etihad Stadium will continue beyond his current spell at the club. As his ambassador role begins, the City boss made clear that he still sees himself connected to the club for years to come.
Guardiola suggested that any future position would be more "behind-the-scenes" than public-facing. That indicates he is not talking about another prominent frontline job, but rather a quieter role where he can still contribute to the club's direction and support its work.
He also said he would help Enzo Maresca if needed, pointing to a willingness to offer guidance and experience when required. The comments underline Guardiola's desire to remain involved in a supportive way rather than stepping completely away from the Manchester City setup.
Although he did not outline a timeline or a specific future title, his message was straightforward: he plans to be back at the Etihad in some form. For Manchester City, that promise keeps the door open to Guardiola's influence even in a less visible role.
