🇬🇧 Pep Guardiola is not ruling out a new Manchester City deal.

Pep Guardiola claims he has not ruled out signing a new contract with Manchester City. Guardiola's current contract is set to expire next summer, and he appeared to imply after leading City to a fourth consecutive Premier League triumph in May that next season could be his last at the club.

However, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager hinted on Friday that his stint at the Etihad could be extended for a tenth year. During the club's pre-season tour of New York, the Spaniard discussed his future ahead of City's friendly versus AC Milan at Yankee Stadium. "When I leave, I will say I'm leaving, but I didn't say that," Guardiola, who has led City to six Premier League crowns, two FA Cups, and a maiden Champions League title, told reporters.

"We'll see what happens. However, I will not rule out extending my contract. I'd like to stay because I really want to. "Nine years at the same club is an eternity. So I want to make sure it's the proper decision. Not only for me, but for the club and the players. "They continue to operate as they have for the past eight years, regardless of the opposition or the tournament, and this is what I need to see. I will not rule out extending my contract. I'd like to stay because I really want to.

"I am certain that in eight more years, I will not stay! Both players and managers benefit from a refresher. "At the same time, we have had success and continue to win Premier Leagues, making it to the final stages, and competing in competitions such as the Champions League. "This is how I feel right now." When asked if he would like to travel to America next summer for the projected 32-team FIFA Club World Cup, Guardiola replied, "I would love to. "Yes, I would love to."

The 53-year-old also addressed the persistent talk surrounding goalkeeper Ederson, who has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League in recent months. Guardiola expressed doubt on Wednesday while reflecting on the status of the 30-year-old Brazil international, who has two years left on his contract. Two days later, though, the City manager was more open regarding his first-choice goalkeeper's future.

Guardiola added: "I sincerely hope Eddie will stay with us. "I'd want for him to stay. "I can't picture our processes succeeding in the last few seasons without him. He is a key figure in the locker room.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for ...
