Joe Hart captained Manchester City in their Champions League qualifier. The 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest may be the keeper's City farewell.
'I know Joe is a legend for this club,' said Guardiola. 'One of the reasons this club has won the Premier League twice and cups is because of Joe. He helped create this team and take it to a new level.
'But I am here to take decisions. I have made a lot of mistakes in my career but I try to be honest.
'I was honest with Joe, I was honest with the club and all the players in the squad.
'I have to take decisions. I can not deny what I feel. If the fans are happy, or not happy, I can understand it. I can't tell them how to feel.
'He has done more for Manchester City than I have managed in a month. I am so happy with how the people treated him tonight and how they love him as a player.'
City and Hart's representatives will now work overtime to try and get the 29-year-old a loan or permanent move away before August 31.
