Spanish professional football manager, Pep Guardiola, has responded to rumours that he will be replaced if Man City are unable to win the UEFA Champion League.
According to him, he did not sign with the club because of CL and if it eventually happens or not that they win the trophy, it would not change his life or intentions.
Guardiola said he had spoken with the club’s chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, several times but he “didn’t tell me that”.
He said: “Since my first ever press conference in Manchester I have been told I am here to win the Champions League.
“I spoke a few times with chairman Khaldoon (Al Mubarak) and they didn’t tell me that.

“Of course we want to win it but if it happens or not it would not change my life or intentions.
“It’s a logical next step to become the Champions of Europe but sometimes it cannot be possible.
Having won two Premier League titles, two FA Cups and two League Cups for the club, Guardiola insisted that there is no pressure on him to win the CL.
“They told me I come here to continue a project, to try to evolve the play and to just win games and see how far we can go.
“I’m not going to try every day, for the next 10 months, thinking it will be a disaster in my life if it did not happen,” he added.
