‘I will leave’ - Guardiola reveals when he will resign from Man City job

Stephen Oladehinde 12:09 - 15.12.2024

Pep Guardiola has revealed when he would quit his job at Manchester City following the club's poor run of form.

City are in danger of an early Champions League exit after losing to Juventus 2-0 in midweek and entering Sunday's Manchester derby clash.

The Citizens have won just one of their last ten games in all competitions and Guardiola is struggling to get his team back on track.

In his managerial career, he has never had to deal with a crisis of this kind, with City falling to fifth place in the Premier League. 

Guardiola speaks on quitting

Guardiola has threatened to leave Manchester City within a month if he is unable to improve the team's dismal performance.

According to Daily Mail, Guardiola said, “When I feel it is time to leave, I will leave. If I'm losing and losing and losing one month more, I will say, guys, it has to come someone else to fix these kind of things, because it cannot be eternal.

“There is one thing when I would say, Pep, you have to think about it, is when I lose the team, when I feel they don't run. They don't follow me.

“In that moment, not one minute would we be here. But more than ever I am there. There's no doubt about that. The greatest achievement has already been done. We have been the best.

“But now it's made me realise how difficult it was what we have done and, when we come back, of course it will be, wow, we will not forget those moments. Because we want it and we do it and we are not able.”

Guardiola signed a contract deal until 2027 last month, but he believes he will end his eight-year term at the Etihad the moment he loses the dressing room.

With his team's poor run, he is going to face further tests against Brentford, Salford City, Everton, Leicester, West Ham, United, and Aston Villa in the upcoming month.
