Pep Guardiola has declared his faith in Manchester City by claiming he would not quit even if they were relegated for alleged financial breaches. The Manchester City manager, that has led the team to six Premier League titles in seven years, signed a two-year contract extension on Thursday, that will tie him to the club until 2027.
City face 115 charges from the Premier League over alleged financial misconduct, with a verdict expected before the season ends. While the club denies any wrongdoing, potential penalties could include a significant points deduction.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s clash with Tottenham, Guardiola expressed unflinching loyalty. “If we get relegated, I will be here,” he said. “If they send us to the Conference, we will come back to the Premier League. I knew it then, and I feel it now.”
The contract extension comes during a rare testing period for Guardiola, with City having lost four consecutive matches for the first time in his managerial career. Regardless of that fact, he highlighted the historic success of winning four consecutive English top-flight titles.
They return to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, eager to break this poor run and regain momentum. Guardiola himself said the best way to get rhythm is to “start winning games.”.
