If Manchester City’s Treble-related antics continue this season, PEP GUARDIOLA has pledged to “RETIRE”.
In a landmark season for the team, City won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League last year.
The six-point deficit between the reigning English champions and Arsenal at the top of the league has many questioning whether they can duplicate their amazing performance from the 2022–2023 campaign.
But Guardiola is certain that his team will win the Premier League, and he has boldly declared he will leave the team if they do.
“If we win the treble this season, I’ll retire,” he said to Amazon Prime before of City’s Premier League matchup with Aston Villa.
“Yes, without a doubt.
“Considering how many amazing teams have played in England, I am aware that it is really challenging.
“And we were the only ones to do it last season, together with Sir Alex Ferguson.
“As we said, be well-prepared for the first game and our approach to it, as well as for the second and current third.
“We will see our level and the competition itself dictates your level, the opponent dictates, the challenge is higher but in September, October, November, thinking about the title, forget about it.”
Without star midfielder Kevin de Bruyne at the center of everything, City has had difficulty being consistent this season.
Guardiola, nevertheless, is certain that his team will regain form when needed and secure a record fourth consecutive Premier League victory.
“I think we’re going to win the Premier League today,” he declared.
We will win it again if we perform as well as we did against Tottenham and Liverpool.
“After three draws, people still don’t believe it, but we feel like we can win four straight games, even though we know it won’t be easy.
“The difficulty is there and was last season but, if you ask me today what I’m feeling, we’re going to do it again.”
