Sky Sports was forced to apologise after Pep Guardiola used an expletive during his emotional farewell speech at the Etihad Stadium following his final match as Manchester City manager.
The Catalan coach, visibly tearful, choked back tears as he addressed supporters on Sunday evening. He ended his speech by declaring, 'It has been f****** fun,' prompting an immediate apology from the Sky match commentator.
Guardiola paid tribute to his family, particularly his 94-year-old father, Valenti, who had travelled for the occasion. He also spoke of the honour of having a statue built and the North Stand named after him, with a tribute video playing on screens in the stadium.
Referencing the tribute video, Guardiola said, 'I never could have imagined the amount of love. It is a tremendous honour to be your manager.' He added, 'The players have a huge responsibility to continue the standards of this amazing club. From day one, it is my home.'
