Pep Guardiola reveals the moment he knew he had to let Mikel Arteta leave Man City

Guardiola believes Arteta would have succeeded him as City manager by now if he had not chosen to remain at the Etihad Stadium.

He added: “I am pretty sure if I would leave before he would be here and he would be the best. But I extend the contract, I am sorry.”

Guardiola insisted he did not regret selling Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal last summer, deals which could help the Gunners replace his side as champions.

“Oleks and Gabriel have been amazing with us,” he said. “I have incredible respect as persons first and players. Of course we want to beat them first but I am more than delighted for them. It is going well for them: congratulations.”
