Rumor has it that if Manchester City can achieve the glory of the "Triple Crown" of the Premier League, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League, the 52-year-old legendary Spanish coach, Gotti Ona, may "gloriously retire". However, the Spanish manager has finally spoken out and firmly expressed his loyalty to the "Blue Moon", announcing that he will continue to be in charge of the club next season, even though the club is facing 115 serious allegations of financial irregularities.
Gordiona said: "At the moment I'm not thinking about leaving the club, who can predict the future? At least for now, I have no intention to leave the team and I intend to stay on next season. I don't know how I feel about losing the two finals (EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League), but I know that I still have a contract with the club, so I have to respect the club's decision. Even though we are facing 115 charges, we are willing to face them together and there is no need for people to be overly concerned." The gaffer also predicted that the road to defending the Premier League title will be even more bumpy next season as all opponents will see City as their number one target to beat.
In February this year, Manchester City were prosecuted by the Premier League for financial irregularities involving 115 charges. It is reported that in the nine years from 2009 to 2018, Manchester City violated a number of financial regulations, including failing to accurately provide information such as financial income and leader's salary, failing to comply with financial fairness regulations and failing to cooperate with the Premier League's law enforcement investigations, etc., and may face the punishment of deduction of points or even kicked out of the Premier League, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for Manchester City next season.
