Despite the club's ongoing legal battle with the Premier League over the investigation into 115 alleged financial breaches by them, the Catalan coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-makes-vow-stay-man-city-relegated-premier-league-alleged-breaches-financial-regulations/blt68b42429738ad23f#csf0c1630980b8f271" target="_blank">committed his future at the Etihad Stadium</a>.</p>
