Manchester City Owners Still Have Complete Faith In Me – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has explain why he has not been sacked by the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the only reason why he has not been fired thus far is because of his achievements over the past eight years, and any other manager who doesn’t win will be in trouble at the Etihad.

Pep added that the club hierarchy and City fans still have complete faith in him to turn things around.

His words, “At this football club you have to win and if you don’t win, you will be in trouble. I know the people say why is Pep not in trouble, why is Pep not sacked? What we have done the last eight years is why I have this margin.

The people rely on me, the hierarchy, the people. It is not normal in the big clubs to do the results we have but we have to accept it. What’s for sure I want to stay. I want to do it. But the moment I feel I am not positive for the club another one will come. It has to be.

But I want the opportunity. I want the opportunity to try. I don’t want to run. I want to be there and rebuild the team in many aspects from now on until the end of the season and next season. I want to continue up there. I asked for that challenge and I asked for this opportunity to do it because I feel it. I know what we want to do, I know what we need and what we have to do, knowing in that moment that we don’t have that consistency that we had, obviously, we don’t have it right now.

But which team around the world in 10 years is consistent? Tell me one. It doesn’t exist. In NBA, not even in tennis, not even in any sports. Not in golf. In a decade of time, we have been here in a decade. We don’t find it. Be as consistent as we have done, you don’t find it. I’m sorry, we don’t find it.

It’s not nice to live, of course it’s not nice, but what do you expect? That everything is red carpet? That everything is nice and easy? It’s easy when you are 10, 12 games in a row, everyone is fit and everyone is in their prime and everyone is 26, 27, 28. Everything is going well. That is easy. Now, no. I have to prove myself now.

It’s not an excuse that Rodri is not there. What are we going to do, cry all the time that Rodri is not there or that the four central defenders have not been there for a long time in the last month? I have to find a solution and the way to do it. I’m trying every day.”

WOW.

Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City. Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, the youngest to win the UEFA Champions League, and he also holds the records for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.

Guardiola has played for and advocated on behalf of the Catalonia football team. Between 1995 and 2005, he played seven friendly games for Catalonia.

Under Guardiola’s predecessor Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona were known for a 4–3–3 with plenty of flair with Ronaldinho being the centre point of the attack. Under Guardiola, however, the team became more disciplined with a greater focus on possession and a disciplined and aggressive pressing style.

Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is an atheist. Guardiola met his wife Cristina Serra when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014.
