An ex-police officer, and body language expert, believes that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has already decided his future, but isn't currently in a position to make those feelings public knowledge.
Guardiola is front and the centre of speculation at the moment after reports emerged on Monday suggesting that he had been sounded out, informally, by England over their vacant manager's role.
The Telegraph indicates that the Catalonian's future is undecided, but the idea of putting pen to paper on a new one-year extension at City is still an attractive proposition for him.
On Sunday, Guardiola rather surprisingly appeared on Italian TV show Che Tempo Che Fa where he kept his cards close to his chest when asked about the possibility of leaving the Blues at the end of this season. "Let's see on my future," the ex-Barcelona manager explained.

But while his answer was in keeping with his stance since the summer, former Derbyshire Police officer and current body language expert Darren Stanton believes that Guardiola has already made a decision on whether to stay or leave City. "I think Guardiola, from watching his body language in this clip, has already accepted an offer," Stanton told OLBG. "I think Guardiola is being deceptive, but not in a harmful way, it's perhaps more likely because he's signed an NDA [Non-Disclosure Agreement] or something similar." Stanton added: "If you're asking me, I think we're looking at the next England manager.
