You Would See A Better Manchester City Next Season - Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has promised that his team will come back stronger next season after they secured Champions League football with a final day thrashing of Watford.

City needed a point at Vicarage Road to finish in the top four but an emphatic 5-0 win sealed their passage to the group stages of Europe's elite-club competition. Despite ending a season trophyless for the first time in his managerial career, Guardiola praised City's achievement and set his sights on guiding one of the best groups he had ever coached to further glory.

He said “This is one of the best groups I've ever coached in my life, they didn't give up this season, even in the tough moments when we couldn't win or got knocked out of the Champions League, how we reacted was fantastic. It's a pleasure and a privilege to be with these guys. In the end we want to be champions but qualifying for the Champions League means a lot for the club and the future and next season. I can assure you we will come back stronger.”
