Man City told Pep Guardiola they will WIN legal battle against Premier League before coach signed new deal

Pep Guardiola decided to stay at Manchester City for two more years as he penned a new deal on Thursday. Despite the club's ongoing legal battle with the Premier League over the investigation into 115 alleged financial breaches by them, the Catalan coach committed his future at the Etihad Stadium.

Per the Mirror, the reigning English champions assured the 53-year-old coach that they would win the battle in court against the league before he formally signed the dotted line. While Guardiola has vowed to stay with the club even if they face punishment and get relegated, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and chief executive Ferran Soriano remain confident that the club will be cleared of all charges.

The Cityzens are going through their worst phase in the Guardiola era as they suffered their fifth consecutive defeat across all competitions in an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. This is also the first time in his career that his team has lost five games in a row.

City will next face Feyenoord in the Champions League in the midweek before they take on Premier League leaders Liverpool in a difficult away fixture at Anfield on December 1.
