Pep ‘100% staying’

Pep Guardiola insisted on Wednesday that he will stay with Manchester City and vowed that the "truth will prevail" over their shock two-year ban from European competitions.

City were banned from the Champions League and Europa League for the next two seasons UEFA found them guilty of committing "serious breaches" of financial regulations.

"If they don't sack me I will stay here 100 percent more than ever. First because I want to stay. It's something special, more than the contract I have," Guardiola said after Wednesday's 2-0 win against West Ham.

"I said before, I say now, I want to stay and help the club and maintain this level as long as possible. When I said I love this club I like to be here, why should I leave? No matter what happens I will be here next season."
