Pep Guardiola suggests he could quit Man City if dismal run continues | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola has vowed to walk away from Manchester City when he thinks he is not benefitting the club any more.

City have lost five of their last six games, including the longest losing run of Guardiola’s career, and gave up a three-goal lead to draw with Feyenoord on Tuesday.

But Guardiola, who signed a new contract last week, said managers at clubs like City are in “trouble” if they stop winning as they said they could not “cry all the time” that Rodri is injured.

He said: “No complaining, no blaming, no pointing the figure or running from your responsibility. If you don't win, you're in trouble, I know that.

"People rely on me, it is not normal for big clubs to have our results but what you have to do is accept it. The moment I feel I am not positive for the club, another one will come but I want the opportunity.

“I want the opportunity to try it and I want to rebuild the team in many aspects from now on until the end of the season and the next seasons. I ask for that challenge and this opportunity to do it.”

Guardiola said it is up to him to prove himself again as he tries to turn City’s season around.

“It proves how we are as sportsmen and competitors,” he added. “It is easiest when you have 10 or 12 games [wins] in a row and everyone is fit and in their prime. I have to prove myself now. I have to find a solution and a way to do it and I am trying every day.”

City will go 11 points behind Liverpool if they lose at Anfield on Sunday and Guardiola said they cannot think about winning the Premier League title at the moment.

“In the situation we have it's not realistic to think about big targets,” he added. “The situation is to think about one game and build the momentum to continue.”
