Guardiola Shares Thoughts On His Future With Man City (See What He Said)

Manchester city manager Pep Guardiola has told Manchester City players he is committed to the club, saying: “Even if they put us in League Two, I will still be here.”
Raheem Sterling is also committed to City despite UEFA handing the club a two-year suspension from European competition for Financial Fair Play rule breaches, a ruling the club are appealing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Since Friday’s ruling, there has been speculation Guardiola could choose to walk away from City.

However, the Catalan has told City players:

“Look, whatever league we are in, I will still be here.

“Even if they put us in League Two, I will still be here. This is a time for sticking together.”

Guardiola’s deal expires at the end of the 2020/21 season and he has no intention of cutting it short. The 49-year-old has never broken a contract as a manager.

As well as Guardiola, Sterling is also understood to be totally committed to City and will not push for a move, despite the absence of European football.

The 25-year-old and his team-mates are believed to be focusing on finishing the season strongly – particularly in the Champions League, given it could be their last season in the competition for two years.
