Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hinted at the possibility of resigning.

British media 'Independent' reported on the 1st (Korea Standard Time) that Pep Guardiola could leave Manchester City if the disastrous performance continues.

Guardiola has been in the most difficult situation this season since taking over from Manchester City.




Guardiola achieved his feats, including one treble in eight years of Manchester City's tenure and six Premier League wins, including four consecutive Premier League wins.

But this year is strange. Guardiola lost his first official game in five consecutive games, and has one draw and five losses in the last six games.

It has fallen to fourth place in the Premier League. There is an eight-point gap with Liverpool, which is ranked first.




Manchester City will face Liverpool in the 13th round of the Premier League at 1 a.m. on the 2nd. If they lose this match, Liverpool will be separated by 11 points.

The BBC reported that in the past four weeks, Manchester City have been eliminated from the EFL Cup. Lost three Premier League matches. He has dropped five points in six Champions League matches. It is the first time since May 1963 that Manchester City has lost two or more goals in six consecutive games.

It is also the first time that Manchester City has won five consecutive games since 2006, before the era of owner Mansour.




Guardiola said "I won't complain. I won't blame you. I will not run away from responsibility. I know there's a problem now," he said without making an excuse.

He said "People believe me. It is not common for big clubs to produce such results, but we have to accept it for now."

Guardiola said he should leave if he is no longer helpful to the club.

Guardiola said "The moment I feel like I'm not a positive person for the club, I'll go to another club, but I want a chance now. I want to rebuild the team in many ways from now until the end of the season, and by next season. I want the challenge and the opportunity to do it.'

Guardiola said it was also up to him to save Man City from a slump this year.

Guardiola said "This is why we are sportsmen. When everyone is healthy and in their prime, they can win 10 games and 12 games. I have to prove myself now. I'm trying every day to find a solution."

Winning is already unthinkable.

Guardiola said "It's not realistic to think about big goals in the situation we're in. It is important to think about only one game and increase the momentum to continue the upward trend."

Manchester City ended up with a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord in the fifth home game of the UEFA Champions League phase of the 2024-2025 season at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on the 27th. A 3-0 lead was expected until the 8th minute of the second half. However, he allowed three goals in 14 minutes from the 30th minute of the second half.

British broadcaster BBC reported that Guardiola shook his head in disbelief after Manchester City allowed an equalizer. Some Manchester City fans booed him. He then blew a three-point lead. Their miserable performance continued at the Etihad Stadium. Man City looked to be cruising, but the Netherlands' team launched a stunning counterattack.

The BBC reported that in the past four weeks, Manchester City have been eliminated from the League Cup and lost three Premier League matches. In the Champions League, they lost five points in six games. It is the first time since May 1963 that Manchester City has lost two or more goals in six consecutive games.
