Guardiola maintains trust in Man City over 115 charges

Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has consistently defended the club amid the Premier League’s investigation into 115 alleged breaches of its financial rules.

Guardiola has repeatedly said he trusted City’s leadership and maintained that the club should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. He also said he would accept the outcome of the independent process if the club were eventually found to have breached the rules.

Throughout the case, Guardiola called for the proceedings to be concluded quickly, saying the prolonged investigation had caused damage to the club. Even after leaving his managerial position in 2026, he reiterated his confidence in City’s leadership and the way it had handled the allegations.
