It’s a load of nonsense, Man City dismiss Guardiola to Juventus report
A member of Manchester City’s board has dismissed reports that the club’s manager Pep Guardiola has agreed to take over Italian club Juventus, describing the report as “a load of nonsense”.
Italian news agency AGI had claimed on Thursday that Juve had reached an agreement with Guardiola for him to succeed Massimiliano Allegri, whose departure was announced last week, as head coach.
According to the outlet, the Catalan was set to sign a four-year deal worth €24million per season with the Bianconeri on June 4 and be presented to the media 10 days later.
Bein Sports reports that Manchester City’s Football Group Executive Alberto Galassi categorically rejected the rumour and stated Guardiola wishes to stay at the Etihad Stadium, something the manager said himself prior to last weekend’s FA Cup final against Watford.
