Ahead of the crucial Manchester derby, Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, expressed his support for his counterpart, Ruben Amorim, who has been facing intense criticism from the media.
Guardiola shared his thoughts on the pressures faced by managers in such high-profile roles: “I always wish managers are given time, I am sincere in this. It all depends on Manchester United. Every manager needs time — that’s obvious. But today, clubs don’t give much time. In big clubs, you need to win, and if you don’t, you may face problems.”
He also reflected on the challenges of managing mid-season changes: “It’s not easy to join a club mid-season, change the style of play, and adapt to everything. It’s not easy, but I don’t know what will happen at Manchester United. I’m sorry, but I don’t know,” Guardiola said, as quoted by the BBC.
The Manchester derby, which takes place today, April 6, at 17:30 Central European Time, is of immense significance for Manchester City, who are in a desperate battle to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.
