Pep Guardiola says he has asked the Manchester City hierarchy for a chance to turn the club's form around, but will leave if he fails to do so.
Guardiola is enduring the worst run of form in his managerial career, with City losing five successive matches in all competitions before conceding a three-goal lead to draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League in midweek.
His cause has not been helped by a number of injuries to key players including Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, who will miss the rest of the season.
Guardiola has won 18 trophies since moving to Etihad Stadium in 2016, including six Premier League titles in seven years and the Champions League.
