Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to fire back at UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin over the comments he made on Manchester City’s FFP charges. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, as a lawyer that Aleksander Ceferin is, he would expect him to wait for his colleagues to do their jobs amid the ongoing investigation before concluding on the matter.
Pep added that after any allegation of corruption from football authorities, clubs should always have the right to defend themselves.
His words, “As a lawyer that he is, the president of UEFA should wait, and after [he can] do whatever he wants. He has to respect it and he has to wait. He has a lot of jobs to do at UEFA. Lawyers should respect procedure and understand we have [the] right to defend ourselves.”
