Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola made a joke out the request made by the club’s fans. According to reports, it was said that the former Bayern and Barcelona coach had said he would reimburse fans after hearing they are set to display a new banner asking him to remain at the club. The 1894 Group, who organise displays of flags and banners at Etihad Stadium, raised more than £1,000 in just 24 hours to create the banner.
Funny Pep Guardiola jokingly Offer to than £1,000 to City Fans
It is due to be displayed in the South Stand on Saturday, when they will play against Fulham, the banner reads “Pep Guardiola, we want you to stay” in his native Catalan tongue. Pep said he was surprised as they has to bring him the bill, and he said “I have to pay for the banner.” “What can I say? Thank you so much, I fell in love since the first day I arrived here, lets see.”
Guardiola took the reins at Manchester City in July 2016 and his contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, with no indication as to whether he will sign an extension. The Spaniard has led City to 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a first Champions League title in 222-23. Manchester City is currently second in the English Premier League table, one point behind Liverpool, after drawing the past two matches.
In July, Pep Guardiola said he wanted to wait until the season was under way to “look at how everything is going and how connected we are” before making a decision on his future.” “When it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.” The English Premier League defending champions are currently fighting 115 charges for alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules.
That hearing, billed as sport’s ‘trial of the century’, got under way on 16 September and is projected to run for 10 weeks, with a verdict expected in early 2025.
Speaking about that Pep said: “I’m part of this club, deep inside of my bones, and the best way to defend the club is winning games and doing my job as best as possible.” “I am going to defend my club, I trust [them], since the owner, since the chairman for the relation, the CEO, and all the people working here, for many many years. I know them quite well, much more than any of you.” “The best way to defend is by doing our job the best, everyone working here has their own responsibility.” “I’m part of this club, not just the manager. I love this club and it will always be that way.”
