Pep Guardiola threatens to leave Man City over big problem
I'd rather quit than work with this large squad again - Guardiola
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has threatened to quit if the club doesn't reduce the squad size next season.
Guardiola expressed his frustration at having to leave several players out of the matchday squad, citing a negative impact on team dynamics and his own ability to manage effectively.
He stated his preference for a smaller, more tightly knit group, supplemented by academy players, rather than a large squad where some players are consistently left out.
This comes after City made four signings in the winter transfer window, increasing the squad size beyond what Guardiola feels is manageable.
While Kevin De Bruyne's departure is confirmed, Guardiola wants the club to offload more players to create a more manageable and harmonious squad.
