After the Norwegian’s abuse of FC Copenhagen, City coach Pep Guardiola was asked about that clause, but the Spaniard rejects the speculation.

Wolverhampton’s Bruno Lage is the system man out of the doors at his club, and now the Telegraph claims that Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhüttl will be the next to be in danger of losing his job.
