The Manchester City chairman promises that City aren’t going anywhere despite Pep Guardiola leaving the club
As Pep Guardiola has now left his post as Manchester City manager, a new era is set to get underway at the club. Part of Pep Guardiola’s legacy is that he has established City as the dominant force in English football. Also, City are well-placed for what lies ahead under a new manager. Guardiola has left City in a great position for the future. In a new interview, Manchester City’s chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has warned City’s rivals that his club is built to win. Manchester City’s high standards will not be allowed to slip despite Pep Guardiola having left the club.
Khaldoon Al Mubarak has reminded everyone that Manchester City is built to win.
In his annual end of season interview with mancity.com, Manchester City’s chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has reminded the football word that Manchester City is a club built to win. Despite the fact that Pep Guardiola is no longer Manchester City’s manager standards won’t be allowed to slip at the club. Khaldoon Al Mubarak explained: “This is a club that is designed and built to win. We are used to being successful, because it’s in our DNA, winning.”
“I look at where the Club was in 2008, and then I look at every part of these last 18 years. Roberto Mancini brought that first Premier League title to this Club, we will never forget those moments. It was a great period then, [after] a first FA Cup win in many, many years. Then Manuel [Pellegrini] came in, [the] same thing, another Premier League title and more success.”
“And then Pep came in, and it was getting that mindset, that DNA of a winning club. And now, this Club is the way we all know it right now. What Pep has given us has taken us to the next level, and I think we’re so thankful for what he’s helped build here.”
City are well-established after Pep Guardiola’s reign as manager, and the challenge for the club is to remain where they are and grow.
No one expects Manchester City to continue winning trophies at the level they did under Pep Guardiola. That is next to impossible, and Guardiola’s achievements were unprecedented. They will never be matched. However, outside of the trophies won, Pep Guardiola has taken City to the next level as a club. It is a club set up to contend for and win major trophies. That standard won’t be compromised when a new era gets underway at City.
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak is right to point this out. While Pep Guardiola is gone, City remain one of the best-run clubs in English and European football. Everything is now established at the club. Manchester City’s facilities are second to none, and they remain a club where everyone is pulling in the same direction. The goal is success at Manchester City and that will not change with a new manager.
Khaldoon Al Mubarak has warned Manchester City’s rivals that City are a club built to win. Pep Guardiola has lifted City to new levels and raised the bar for the club as a whole. However, City will continue to live up to their high standards, which sets the club up brilliantly for their new era.
