Pep Guardiola says Man City stay will not stretch to another 200 Premier League games

Pep Guardiola is preparing for his 200th Premier League game with Manchester City - but cast doubt on whether he will be here for another 200.

The Blues boss marks the milestone when City face Crystal Palace tomorrow, and said he is "incredibly happy", but smiled ruefully when it was suggested he might stay at the Etihad Stadium for another long stint.

"No, I don't think so," said Guardiola, who has won three Premier League titles, four League Cups and an FA Cup, and last season took the club to its first Champions League final.

But that does not mean he is seeking an early exit - he is contracted until the summer of 2023. and earlier this season said he had been misquoted when he was said to have expressed a desire to leave at the end of this campaign.

On his 200 games, Guardiola said: "I'm incredibly happy, we saw the team grow and grow and that's the best signal you do well.

"I adapt and adjust to the Premier League, and with 200 games I cannot be more satisfied, amazing for what we live and the way we want to play.

"I've been many years here. It's because you've been many years and won some games.

"We are judged on good results, not on how good we are or bad we are, just the results. You can get these milestones because we have done quite decent with the players.

"I don't have any regrets, I couldn't demand more for what we have done so far, it's impossible. I'm more than delighted what we live in this period. Hopefully we can continue working really well."
