- Arsenal manager worked as City’s No 2 under Pep Guardiola
- ‘I just want the best for Manchester City, I really do’
Mikel Arteta has said Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are “suffering” after Uefa handed the club a two‑season ban from the Champions League and a €30m (£25m) fine.
The Arsenal manager, who worked as Guardiola’s assistant for three years until December, said he was shocked at the severity of the sanctions and had been in contact with Guardiola, who reportedly intends to at least see out his City contract, which expires at the end of next season.
