"Man City” coach Josep Guardiola will take advantage of the exception in English football rules.

In the FA Cup match against "Newcastle”, the Catalan, who has earned his sixth yellow card this season, received a two-match suspension.

However, this rule has an exception – coaches cannot be eliminated from the finals of local tournaments.

This means that J. Guardiola will not miss the crucial "Carabao” Cup match against London’s "Arsenal” club.

The suspension will apply to the "Premier” League match against London’s "West Ham United” and the FA Cup quarterfinals.
