Pep Guardiola walks out of interview after ‘brave’ Laura Woods question to Man City boss

After overseeing Manchester City’s FA Cup final victory over Chelsea, Pep Guardiola faced an awkward question from TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods

Pep Guardiola refused to answer when questioned by TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods about his Manchester City future – a moment pundit Steven Gerrard described as “brave.”

Guardiola secured his 20th piece of silverware as City boss after Antoine Semenyo’s clever second-half strike earned a 1-0 win against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The cup may prove to be the final honour for long-serving stars Bernardo Silva and John Stones, who are both expected to leave this summer.

It could also mark the last trophy Guardiola claims with City. The 55-year-old manager has been heavily linked with an exit from the Premier League after a decade in Manchester.

Following City’s triumph, Woods attempted to question Guardiola about his plans as she asked: “Pep, there are so many rumours aren’t there, about you leaving. You’re not are you?”

Guardiola acted puzzled and responded: “What rumours?” Woods then repeated: “Rumours!” But Guardiola cut the conversation short by saying: “Have a lovely evening!” The exchange sparked laughter among the panel, where Woods was joined by Gerrard, Joe Cole and former City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
