Head coach Pep Guardiola spoke frankly after being asked about the future of midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

The English midfielder joined The Citizens from Leeds United for a fee of 42 million pounds, but he is having difficulty integrating with the playing style of Pep Guardiola’s squad. Up to now, Phillips has only made two starts in the Premier League.

Former student Marcelo Bielsa will almost leave Etihad Stadium in the near future and there are rumors that Newcastle and Juventus are targeting him. After a period of “grinding his pants” on the bench at Man City, Phillips will choose a place that is ready to accommodate him for a starting role.

Pep Guardiola also shared his thoughts after being asked about his student and he publicly admitted that Phillips is no longer in the team’s plans, the Spanish coach shared:

I don’t know what will happen. I feel very guilty about the decisions I made for him, I’ve said it many times. He doesn’t deserve this.

So sorry. He is the type of player I always ask for in terms of a good personality and good person. I should have given him something, but I didn’t. It’s just that I’m always envisioning something, about the team and everything, I’m having trouble finding ways to see Phillips [in the lineup], simple as that.”
