City chairman's total belief in Guardiola... 'tough times bring us even closer together'

- JEREMY CROSS

MANCHESTER CITY chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak insists he still has full trust in boss Pep Guardiola's ability to make the club serial winners again.

The dethroned champions were left in shock following a dismal campaign which saw them fail to win any silverware and surrender the Premier League title to Liverpool.

To make matters worse, Guardiola also revealed he would be taking a break from football once he decided to leave the Etihad. So the pressure on City to bounce back in style next season will be huge.
