Details: Leaders of the Jewish community have criticized 49-year-old Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola, who recently spoke at a charity conference in Barcelona, expressing sympathy for the people of Ukraine, Palestine, and Sudan who are suffering from military conflict.

Pep stated that he will always stand against any form of violence and will use his public profile to speak out on this issue.

In response, the Jewish community declared that Guardiola's actions have seriously damaged Manchester City's image, and also accused the coach of fueling the rise of antisemitism, citing the recent burning of a synagogue near the Etihad Stadium as an example.

Jewish community leaders also warned Guardiola to be more cautious with his public statements in the future.
