I Won’t Leave Even If Man City Is Relegated –Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has disclosed that he won’t leave the club even if they are relegated from the Premier League.

The outcome of City’s hearing over their alleged 115 breaches is set to be announced next year and now in his recent press conference ahead of this weekend’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur, Guardiola admits he would not step down from his role.

“I said that six months ago, if we get relegated, I will be here and the next year, we’re going to come up to the Premier League. I knew it then, I feel it now.”

“I don’t want to be in that position. In the end, the contract is there. I would like to stay two more years, but I know that if results are not good it won’t be two years. It’s the same with the players.

“We have some incredible, legendary players here but you have to perform. If you don’t perform, our owner, chairman and fans will say ‘What’s going on? We have to change’.

“Everyone is under pressure, with me the first. Maybe it’s a little bit arrogant but I think we deserve to continue, for what we have done in the last years.

“But at the same time, we have to do it again, we have to be up there. If we’re not, the club has to find a solution.”
