We will get through this together, says former City manager Guardiola

We will get through this together, says former City manager Guardiola

Pep Guardiola, the former Manchester City coach, has consistently defended the club throughout the Premier League's investigation into alleged financial breaches. In February 2023, City was charged with 115 alleged breaches of the league's financial rules. Guardiola maintained that the club had acted properly and called for a quick resolution.

When asked about receiving payments from the club outside official channels in 2019, Guardiola said he did not receive any such payments and that the club followed the rules. In 2020, after UEFA imposed a two-season Champions League ban and a €30 million fine on City, Guardiola again backed the club. He believed that the club had acted unfairly and would appeal the decision.

Despite the ongoing investigation, Guardiola continued to defend City and expressed his willingness to accept any eventual decision made by the Premier League.
