Pep Guardiola has insisted he will remain at Manchester City despite the club being punished by financial fair play breaches by being relegated.

Manchester City confirmed Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract on Thursday after months of speculation over his future as his current deal expires at the end of the season.

The Catalan boss has insisted he will remain at the Etihad despite the club’s imminent relegation. “

Six months ago I said when all the clubs accuse us of doing something wrong, http://ufabet999.app then if we get relegated I will be here,” Guardiola said.

“If next year we go back to non-league we will be back in the Premier League. I thought that then, I feel that now.”

City had lost four consecutive games in all competitions before the international break, their first under Guardiola, but he feels now is the right time to sign a new deal.

“No, they want me, for obvious reasons, for results. All the decisions I make in my life are based on how I feel at the moment. When I’m not sure I wait. I think this is the right moment to stay, that’s why And we did it in two hours.”

Asked why he signed a two-year extension instead of one, Guardiola said: “It’s a good question. The main thing is I don’t want next season, people are saying in September, October, November that this will be my last year, over and over again. That’s the main reason. I don’t want to be in that situation.”

Guardiola has also indicated that he will not complete his two-year contract if results worsen in the long run.

“I would like to stay for another two years but I know that if the results are not good then it will not be two years. It is the same with the players. We have legends in the team but they have to perform. If they do not perform then the owners, the chairman, the fans will ask what is going on and we have to make changes.”
