Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he has the backing of club chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak despite his side's Champions League exit to Monaco in the round-of-16.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss saw his City squad lose by the away goals rule on Wednesday after a 6-6 aggregate scoreline, despite carrying a 5-3 advantage into the second leg.
But Guardiola -- in his first season at the Etihad -- insists he has al-Mubarak's full confidence going forward.
"I received a text message from him [al-Mubarak] the day after [Monaco]," Guardiola told English newspapers ahead of City's Premier League clash against Liverpool.
