Rumor has it that if Manchester City wins the "Triple Crown" of the Premier League, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League, team leader Diego Cordero will "retire with honor". The 52-year-old Spanish manager has finally broken his silence and made it clear that he will stay on as manager of the "Blue Moon", even though the club is facing 115 allegations of financial irregularities.
Gordiona said: "At the moment I don't have any intention of retiring, but who can predict what will happen in the future? Anyway, I don't have any plan to leave now, and I plan to stay in the team next season. I don't know how I'll feel about winning or losing these two finals (EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League), but I know I still have a contract with the club, so I have to respect the club. Although we are facing 115 charges, we are willing to face them together and there is no need for people to worry too much." The gaffer also predicted that the road to defending the Premier League title will be even more bumpy next season as all opponents will be aiming to beat City.
In February this year, Manchester City were prosecuted by the Premier League for financial irregularities involving 115 charges. It is reported that from 2009 to 2018, Manchester City violated a number of financial regulations over a nine-year period, including failing to accurately provide financial income and leader's salary, etc., violating financial fairness regulations, and failing to cooperate with the Premier League law enforcement investigations. This will be a major challenge for City next season, and could even face penalties such as points deduction and being kicked out of the Premier League.
