Guardiola thanks fans who want him to stay at Man. City

A banner with a message asking for the renewal of the contract with the Spaniard is being displayed

Over the course of eight seasons, Pep Guardiola has turned Manchester City into an almost unassailable giant. Six league titles and one Champions League are just some of the 18 titles he has won at the helm of the Manchester skyblues . These times of great achievements, impossible to ignore, could , however, be nearing their end. This is because this season, the ninth of Pep ‘s marriage to the Citizens , is the last of Guardiola ‘s contract .

The renewal, as the coach has already said, will come “if things happen during the season”: “I want to see how things happen and how connected we are. Whatever has to happen, will happen.” And there are already fans wanting to show that this connection – at least between the coach and the stands – exists: in recent years, more than a thousand euros have been raised to display a message to the coach: “Pep Guardiola, we want you to stay.” A message that did not leave the Catalan indifferent.

“They have to bring me the bill, I’ll pay for the badge,” he joked, in a preview of the match between the four-time English champions, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias and Matheus Nunes, against Fulham, coached by Marco Silva. “What else can I say? Thank you very much, I’ve felt loved since the day I arrived here,” confessed Guardiola. This renewal could also depend on the outcome of the 116 accusations of breach of financial fair play that Manchester City is facing and the punishment that could be applied.
