Pep Guardiola has revealed he's yet to decide on his Manchester City future amid links to the England job.
The Spaniard has achieved greatness during his time at the Etihad Stadium, with City winning six Premier League titles since his arrival in 2016.
Guardiola's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, leading to talk he could be about to leave.
Yet the 53-year-old has insisted that nothing has been decided just yet, despite speculation that he could take the England job.

"It's not true, I have to reflect," he told Italian TV show Che tempo che fa when asked if he'd made up his mind.
"It's not true, I can promise you that had I made a decision on whether to stay or to leave [City], I would tell you.
"I don't even know. But anything can happen in life."
It emerged over the weekend that Guardiola was a 'genuine candidate' for the England job following the departure of Gareth Southgate back in the summer.

Southgate opted to leave his post following the European Championships back in the summer, with England losing to Spain in the final.
Lee Carsley has long been seen as the frontrunner to take over.
The 50-year-old has overseen four England matches on an interim basis so far, with the Three Lions winning three of those fixtures.
But Carsley has sent mixed messages over his future and the FA aren't convinced that he actually wants the job on a permanent basis.

In addition to Guardiola, several other managers have been linked with England.
One of them is Eddie Howe, whose relationship with the Newcastle hierarchy has soured over the past few months.
Howe has also been linked with Manchester United, however, with Erik ten Hag currently fighting to keep his job at Old Trafford.
Thomas Tuchel is another potential candidate, with the German a free agent following his departure from Bayern Munich earlier in the year.

The former United skipper told ITV: "It is [a small pond in which to find Southgate's successor] but the most important thing is to get the right man.

"The FA have to go after the right guy, whoever that is.
"Whether finances play a part in it, if Lee [Carsley] rules himself out and isn't interested... that seems to be the noises coming out... then the FA have to get busy and find the right man.
"Go for Pep [Guardiola]. Go for the best. Pep's contract is up in the summer."
