Guardiola slams 'unacceptable' Wenger treatment
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola labelled the recent treatment of under-fire Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger as "unacceptable".
Wenger has been widely criticised in the wake of his team's 5-1 loss at Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 first leg.
But Guardiola is unhappy with the way the Frenchman has been treated, in particular in the media, as speculation over his future intensified.
"What I hear in the last 10 days, about how people, ex-players, journalists treat Arsene Wenger is unacceptable," the Spaniard said.
"Our job, in that moment, doesn't have any respect for any position, so it is disrespectful, what happened.
"That is why we take the decisions and you can say whatever you want."
City was held at Huddersfield and now faces a fifth-round replay on 1 March (AEDT).
Before then, Guardiola's men have a UEFA Champions League meeting with Monaco on Wednesday.
