Pep Guardiola has revealed he hurried to the Manchester Arena following the terrorist attack last year.
More than 20 people were killed in a devastating explosion at the Manchester Arena which was almost packed due to an Ariana Grande concert. Among the listeners, Guardiola’s wife Christina Serra and his two daughters were also present.
Guardiola wasn’t with them but ran back to the arena as he failed to make contact with his wife and daughters after the incident. Fortunately, nothing happened to them as the escaped the area unhurt.
Guardiola said, “I was at home with my son and my wife and daughters were there. At the end we were lucky. Unfortunately [there were many] people who suffered.
“She called me but immediately the line broke. She told me, ‘Something happened and we are running, but I don’t know what happened,’ and the line broke. We tried to call her again and it didn’t work.
“We went to the arena. After five or six minutes she called me again and said, ‘We are out, we are out’.”
On being asked if he would manage any other team in England the Manchester City manager replied, “I will be Mancunian for the rest of my life.
“I will be a Manchester City fan and it will be impossible to train another team in England like Manchester City because I feel beloved from the people here.
“I like to do it better, to seduce them, to make a better club so they can believe we are strong enough to do better things, but all human beings want to be supported in the bad moments. “That is why it is perfect.”
