- Pep Guardiola has revealed his deepest regret during his tenure as Manchester City manager, admitting he wishes he had given England goalkeeper Joe Hart a proper opportunity to prove himself.
- Guardiola, who is preparing for his final match in charge of City, sent Hart out on loan to Torino within weeks of his arrival in 2016, subsequently bringing in Claudio Bravo and then Ederson.
- Speaking to Sky Sports, Guardiola confessed that he has "one regret that I have deep inside for many years" concerning his decision not to allow Hart to stay and compete for his place.
- He acknowledged that while he respects the goalkeepers who replaced Hart, he felt he should have offered Hart the chance to prove himself, admitting he was "not fair enough" in his decision-making at the time.
- Guardiola reflected on the challenges of managing human emotions in football and apologised if his actions caused any distress, stating it was never his intention to fail in that aspect.
