'I will be here' - Guardiola's relegation promise to Man City

Pep Guardiola has reiterated his loyalty to Manchester City, pledging to remain with the club even if they face relegation due to alleged breaches of financial rules.

Guardiola, who recently extended his contract until 2027, expressed his unwavering commitment despite the 115 Premier League charges against City, with a verdict expected early next year.

City deny any wrongdoing, but potential sanctions could range from fines to points deductions or relegation. Guardiola previously stated he would manage City in lower leagues if necessary, a sentiment he reaffirmed before their match against Tottenham.

“If we are relegated, I will be here,” Guardiola said. “We’ll come back stronger.” His comments underline his belief in the club and readiness to face any challenges that lie ahead.
