Manchester City are supported all-round the globe for their style of play, their ability to come up trumps in crunch situations, and especially their “never-say-die” attitude.
The Club has triumphed a record three Premier League titles in its previous four stints and the count of Carabao Cups is astonishingly second to none.
The historic moment which embarked all these events was the signing of Pep Joseph Guardiola as the City’s boss on January 1st of 2016 from his former club Bayern Munich.
"In his recent interview with Sporf, when asked about him being regarded as a “genius”, he replied:“I’m not a genius. I’m a guy who works. Who’s the most incredible ( at working hard ) in the world. I’m that,”“I try to be the first to arrive and the last to leave – there are no secrets. I don’t want to get something without effort, I don’t want it, it doesn’t work. ( When People say ) you didn’t win the Champions League’, yeah okay, I’ll put more effort in.”Source: MEN."
The Spaniard is certainly a man known for his tactics and strategies both on and off the field. He is always vocal and a bit weird too when it comes to managing the team on the field.
The Catalan came to the limelight in the first place when a legend, a Talisman, a Freak u would say in many aspects of what he is capable of doing with the ball at his feet named Lionel Messi was groomed under him at Barcelona in Pep’s early days as a manager.
He even made fantastic signings with Manchester City involving the likes of Ederson, Ruben Diaz, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, Rodri, Joao Cancelo, Joao Cancelo, and Ferran Torres.
Guardiola is set to part ways with the Skyblues set up in 2024. He seems to be keen on managing the Spain National team and hence any extension is looking unlikely at this stage.
So, What has been your favorite moment of the Guardiola era?
