Guardiola's Ultimatum: Reduce Man City Squad or I Quit

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has issued an ultimatum to the club's board: reduce the squad size or he will quit. Guardiola's comments come after a season where a large squad caused difficulties in team selection and player morale. "As a manager I cannot train 24 players and every time I select I have to have four, five, six players stay in Manchester at home because they cannot play. This is not going to happen," Guardiola stated. The manager's frustration highlights the challenges of managing a bloated squad, particularly when key players face prolonged periods on the bench. The club's response to Guardiola's ultimatum will be closely watched by fans and the wider footballing world. Guardiola's potential departure would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the sport.
