Pep openly stated that he is not going to hold on to his place if he feels that the problem is with him
Head coach Manchester City Josep Guardiola openly spoke about the fact that the recently signed contract does not provide him with insurance for a long job if the team’s results do not improve. At the same time, he feels that he is able to fix everything, and asks the leadership of the Townspeople for this time.
“I don’t want to stay in this place if I feel like I’m a problem. I don’t want to stay here just because I have a contract. My chairman knows about this. I told him, “Give me a chance to try to come back,” especially when everyone comes back [после травм]and let’s see what happens.”
“Afterwards, if I can’t do this, we will have to change, because, of course, [предыдущие] nine years dead. Now more than ever I ask management: give me a chance. Will it be easy for me now? No. I have a feeling that I still need to work, and I want to do it.”
Manchester City found itself in an unprecedented crisis: for the first time in several decades, the team lost five matches in a row in all tournaments, including three in the Premier League: Bournemouth (1:2) and Brighton (1:2) away, as well as Tottenham (0: 4) at home. The City’s winless streak has been going on since October 26th.
Moreover, in the midst of this series of failures, the 53-year-old Spaniard signed a new contract with City – until the summer of 2027.
The serious injury of midfielder Rodri, the team leader and winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or, does not add to optimism – the Spaniard will not return to action until next summer.
Manchester City, which not so long ago was the leader in the Premier League, has now slipped to fourth place, 8 points behind Liverpool. It is with the Reds, and on the road, that the Citizens will have to play the next match – it will start today at 18:00 Kyiv time.
In the Champions League, the Citizens scored 8 points and are in 17th place after five rounds.
