ELBAHRAIN.NET ready to step down if he fails – Pep Guardiola asked Manchester City officials to give him a chance to save the season. If it fails, Guardiola is ready to leave.
City is in limbo after not winning in their last six matches in all competitions. The Citizens lost five times in a row before throwing away a three-goal lead and having to settle for a draw against Feyenoord.
This is the worst run in the history of Guardiola’s coaching career. Guardiola’s efforts to bring City back to life were also not helped by the many injury problems.
Since taking charge of City in 2016, Guardiola has won 18 trophies. He led City to win the Premier League six times and also the Champions League.
Guardiola said that he had asked City officials to give him time. However, even though he has just extended his contract until 2027, Guardiola is ready to resign if he fails to bring City back to life.
“I don’t want to stay if I feel like I’m the problem. I don’t want to stay here just because there is a contract,” said Guardiola as reported by the BBC.
“My boss knows that. I told him, ‘Give me a chance to try to come back’, and especially when everyone comes back (from injury) and see what happens.”
“After that, if I couldn’t do it, we had to change because, of course, the (previous) nine years were dead.”
“More than ever I ask my bosses, give me a chance. Will it be easy for me? No, I have a feeling I still have a job and I want to do it,” said Guardiola.
