MANCHESTER, England — Pep Guardiola said he trusts Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi ownership “completely” in its bid to overturn a two-year ban from European competitions and that he will be at the club next season “no matter what happens.”
“It’s not finished. The club believes it’s unfair so we are going to appeal. We are going to wait,” said Guardiola, speaking after City’s 2-0 win over West Ham in the Premier League. “All we can do is on the pitch and do what we have done the last four years and focus on that until the end of the season.The futures of Guardiola and his superstar players have been the subject of much speculation in the wake of the punishment, but the Spanish coach said he remains committed to City.
A UEFA judging panel banned City from European competitions in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons for breaking financial monitoring rules and failing to fully co-operate with investigators. City was also fined 30 million euros . “We are looking for an early resolution obviously through a thorough process and a fair process so my best hope is that this will be finished before the beginning of the summer,” the CEO said in an interview filmed and published by the club.
