Guardiola backing Man City after guilty verdicts

Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his unwavering support for the club on Wednesday following their guilty verdict for serious breaches of financial rules. Guardiola, who led City for a decade before handing over to Enzo Maresca at the end of last season, made the statement via his X account.

City's Chief Executive Ferran Soriano countered the independent commission's findings in a video message to staff on Tuesday, rejecting the verdict.
