If this is the end, Pep Guardiola's time at Manchester City has truly been remarkable 👏🩵
🏆 6x Premier League
🏆 3x FA Cup
🏆 5x EFL Cup
🏆 3x FA Community Shield
🏆 1x UEFA Champions League
🏆 1x UEFA Super Cup
🏆 1x FIFA Club World Cup
🎙️ Pep Guardiola on Michael Carrick potentially becoming Manchester United manager:
“There comes a point in a man’s life where you must stop competing because your body and mind cannot take it anymore. Look at Jurgen [Klopp] He escaped. Smart man.(laughs)
People think the Premier League is normal football. No. This league eats your soul. I suffered against Klopp for years. Now Mikel Arteta, my own student, gives me headaches every season with Arsenal… and now they want to add Carrick too? For what?
Sometimes I sit alone and genuinely ask myself: how did Alex Ferguson survive this league for 26 years? Because after 8 or 9 years here, your hair starts disappearing, your energy disappears… everything disappears.
And somehow Ferguson did it for over two decades. Impossible.”
