Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists he will stay with the team, even if the club faces relegation due to sanctions for financial misconduct. The Premier League is investigating Manchester City for allegedly violating financial regulations 115 times.
Understanding Financial Fair Play (FFP) Regulations

Consequences of Financial Violations
If found guilty, Manchester City could face point deductions or expulsion from the Premier League, resulting in relegation. Guardiola has firmly stated that no matter the outcome, he remains committed to the team.
Guardiola’s Determination
Guardiola emphasized his loyalty, saying, “I’ve already stated that no matter what accusations other clubs throw at us, even if we are relegated, I’ll still be here. We will fight to return to the Premier League the following season. I understand the situation, and I’m ready for it.”
