PEP GUARDIOLA has reassured his players that he will not be leaving – even if they are demoted to League Two.
Manchester City chief Ferran Soriano urged the squad to trust him as he insisted the two-year Champions League ban will be dropped.
Guardiola was odds-on to leave the 2018/19 Premier League champions before the start of next season following the ban.
But the Spaniard, who has been in charge at the Etihad since 2016, has confirmed that he has no intentions to leave.
He told his players: “Whatever league we are in, I will still be here. Even if they put us in League Two, I will still be here.
“This is a time for sticking together.”
Speaking to the squad, City Chief Executive Officer Soriano said: “Trust me like I trust you, this will be dropped.”
