City have denied the allegations and will appeal the ruling, with the appeal deadline being Friday, October 2. Guardiola took to Instagram to express his unwavering commitment to the club, stating that he "will always be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters."
