Pep Guardiola: No Regrets About Extending Manchester City Stay
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said he has no regrets after signing a two-year contract extension despite the club’s current struggles.
Since the announcement of the Spanish manager’s new contract last month, which keeps him at the club until 2027, Manchester City has secured only one victory in their last six matches across all competitions.
Following a series of disappointing Premier League performances, the reigning champions find themselves in fifth place with 27 points, trailing leaders Liverpool by nine points.
They have already been eliminated from the Carabao Cup and currently sit 22nd in the Champions League standings following a 2-0 defeat to Juventus, with only the top 24 teams avoiding elimination.
Guardiola admitted that his team’s recent form had affected his sleep and diet, yet he harbors no regrets about extending his contract, which could lengthen his tenure at City to 11 years.
“Not,” said Guardiola when asked about regrets over his commitment to the club.
“I would not be able to sleep even worse than now if I thought I was leaving when the club is in this situation. Impossible. They might sack me, that could happen. But leaving now, in this position? No chance.”
