Latest news from Manchester City: the City Football Group has officially lodged its appeal against the decision of the independent Premier League commission, and the name of Pep Guardiola is once again linked to the club. British media outlet Topskills Sports UK suggests a possible return of the coach if the appeal is unsuccessful, but there is still no official confirmation.

The club filed its appeal on October 1, 2026, maintaining its innocence. The club believes that the ruling contains factual and legal errors, and now an independent appeals tribunal will review the decision made against the City.

🚨💣 EXCL: Pep Guardiola has officially told Manchester City that if the Premier League rejects their appeal, he will come back and sign for the team.

He reportedly wants to return and take the team back to the top if that happens.

Manchester City has already filed its appeal

The sporting and institutional situation of Manchester City will largely depend on this process. The Premier League commission found proven breaches of financial rules from the seasons 2009/10 to 2017/18.

The club has rejected these findings and maintains that they have sufficient documentation to overturn them. The appeal will be reviewed by an independent panel, and there is still no final decision on the potential consequences of the process.

Within this scenario, Pep Guardiola has reappeared. The coach left Manchester City at the end of the last season after 10 years leading the first team, during which he won, among other titles, six Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League.

Guardiola publicly expressed his support for the club, its leaders, the current coaching staff, and the fans following the ruling. This backing has resurrected speculations about the coach's potential future involvement in case the team's sporting situation deteriorates.

Pep Guardiola continues to support Manchester City

However, there is currently no public confirmation from Pep Guardiola himself or the club regarding a return to the bench. The speculation about a possible return is tied to the outcome of the appeal and should be distinguished from the coach's publicly expressed support.

The current team's coach is Enzo Maresca, who took over the position after Guardiola's departure. The Italian coach remains at the helm of the project as the club's legal defense progresses.

The context also recalls statements made by Guardiola during his previous tenure, where he stated that he would stay with the team even if sporting sanctions placed City outside the top tier. Those words explain why his figure is once again linked to the immediate future of the club.

The next step lies with the tribunal handling the appeal. Until a decision is reached, Manchester City maintains its legal defense, and Pep Guardiola continues to publicly support the club, albeit without an officially announced return to the bench at the moment.
