‘Thank you for everything’, ‘go recharge Pep’ – Man City fans reacts as Guardiola admits he needs a break

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits he is ready for a break as he heads back to see his family in Barcelona this week.

It has been a lengthy and demanding season for his Manchester City side -chasing the Quadruple for so long meant he has not seen some of his nearest and dearest since November.

Guardiola has won two Champions League titles as a manager, both with Barcelona, but none since 2011, and was again unable to bring City their first European Cup.

The next couple of weeks will be a time for him to switch off, enjoy some overdue sunshine and recharge.

But he will not feel sorry for himself  for very long, as he sits on the beach.

Very quickly his thoughts will start to turn to next season.

He  is set to come back to England in early July to get ready to do it all  over again.

Despite the rumours, he always planned to return — even if they had won the Champions League final against Chelsea in Porto on Saturday.

Pep remains convinced there is more to do with City and this group of players and he has vowed to turn them into the best club in the world.

After an outstanding campaign ended on a disappointing note in Portugal, he said: “I want to  go home  and be with  my family.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them.

“After that I’ll come back to the club. It’s going to be the best club in the world for the next few years.

“I want to congratulate my players on an exceptional season and on the game they played on  Saturday.”

In reaction to these Guardiola’s comments shared on twitter by City Xtra, Many Man City fans have been sharing their thoughts and opinions.

Enjoy him as much as you can. Bcoz when you won’t have him, that’s when you’ll truly realize what you have right now.
