Following the Villa Park setback, Guardiola acknowledged the team’s difficulties, admitting their pressing was “not good enough.” While mild speculation has surfaced about an early departure for Guardiola, such rumors have been consistently dismissed whenever raised.

Speaking to TNT Sports following City’s 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, Lescott said, “I don’t think Guardiola is anywhere close to resigning. He thrives on a challenge and will view this as another one to overcome.”

Crouch Backs Guardiola to Overcome Challenges Despite City’s Title Hopes Fading
Fellow pundit Peter Crouch joined Joleon Lescott in dismissing speculation over Pep Guardiola’s potential resignation, emphasizing the manager’s enduring influence and legacy at Manchester City.
“I think he stays. He leaves when he wants to,” Crouch said. “The man’s a genius. He’s transformed football in this country. This is a unique challenge for him, but you’d expect someone of his caliber to turn it around.”
However, when asked about City’s chances of defending their Premier League crown, Crouch was candid: “You have to write them off in the title race. They’re not showing signs of title-winning form.”
Despite recent setbacks, confidence remains in Guardiola’s ability to overcome adversity and guide his team back to form.
