"I do so in both good moments and bad. Stability is key for me, regardless of the situation. My challenge remains to deliver results that justify my position as a manager."
City's latest setback has left them precariously close to elimination from the Champions League. They sit just one point above the bottom 12 places, which would see them exit the competition.
With two matches remaining in the league phase — against Paris Saint-Germain and Club Brugge — City trail the top eight places, which guarantee progression to the last 16, by five points.
Domestically, City's form in the Premier League has also been underwhelming.
They trail leaders Liverpool by eight points and face a critical clash against local rivals Manchester United this Sunday.
