Pep Guardiola plans to stay at Manchester City despite European ban

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has affirmed his commitment with the club despite their European ban and plan to stay till his contract runs out except he’s sacked.

Man City have been banned from Uefa competitions for two years and also fined €30m but Guardiola feels that the truth will prevail and the ban will be overturned.

Speaking with match of the day after the game between West Ham where Man City won 2-0, Guardiola spoke about the appeal to the ban “We appeal.

When someone believes they are right they have to fight. We are professionals on the pitch, what happens off it we cannot do much”.
He added “We talked about what we have to do until the end of the season, especially for the people who love this club. We will play our game the best as possible. We have a lot of interesting things to play for.”

Pep Guardiola went further to speak about his desire to stay at the club if the ban stands

“If they don’t sack me I will be here. I love this club. I like to be here. This is my club and I will be here, no matter.
“The club has to fight and I trust the club 100%, what they have done and they have explained to me.
“This situation is not finished and we will wait but until the resolution is not done you have to play and play and that is what is going to happen.”

Manchester City had stated their desire to launch an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
