Guardiola set to attend first Man City home game since guilty verdict

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to return to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since stepping down last season, attending the club’s Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain next week. The match will also mark City’s first home game following their guilty verdict on 115 charges related to financial irregularities spanning from 2009–10 to 2017–18, with the club accused of inflating commercial revenues by £830 million through fraudulent contracts.

Despite the ruling, Guardiola has reaffirmed his unwavering support for the club’s leadership and owners, posting a public message emphasizing unity among fans, players, and staff. City have since filed an appeal against the Premier League’s findings, maintaining their denial of wrongdoing throughout the process.
