The club remains under threat of sanctions on more than 100 charges of financial fair play violations
As it became known, the new contract Josep Guardiola With Manchester Citywhich the parties intend to sign in the near future, does not contain a clause on early termination in the event of a forced relegation of the team to a lower division.
Let us remind you that earlier it became known that the Citizens agreed with their head coach to extend the contract until the summer of 2026. The contract will also include an option to extend for another season. An official announcement of the deal is expected within the next few days.
More than a year and a half ago, in February 2023, the Premier League brought a number of charges against the City. We were talking about irregularities in financial indicators, income and wages that occurred in every season from 2009/10 to 2017/18. After years of investigation, the case was referred to an independent commission.
The club is defending itself against charges on more than 100 counts, denying everything. If the English champions are found guilty, then, depending on the severity of the verdict, one of the possible sanctions could be their relegation.
Guardiola has been in charge of Manchester City since 2016. Under the leadership of the Spaniard, the Citizens became champions of England six times, won two FA Cups and four English League Cups, won the Champions League, the Club World Cup, and also won a number of other trophies (18 in total).
Manchester City, which is in second place in the Premier League (minus five points from Liverpool) and has lost four matches in a row for the first time in 18 years, will play its next match on November 23 at home against Tottenham.
