The last six matches are certainly not something Manchester City fans want to remember. In any other club, a coach with such a winless run would have already been sacked. But not Pep Guardiola, who only recently extended his contract with the club. The Spaniard even knows why this didn’t happen.
Details: According to Guardiola, the reason he wasn’t sacked is because of what he has done for the club over the past eight years. Everyone at the club supports him, so such a decision couldn’t have been made.
Quote: “In this football club, you have to win, and if you don’t, you’ll have problems. I know people are asking, why does Pep not have problems, why hasn’t Pep been sacked? What we’ve done over the last eight years, that’s why I have such a cushion.
People rely on me, hierarchy, the people. In big clubs, it’s not usual to achieve the results we have, but we have to accept that. I definitely want to stay. I want to do this. But the moment I feel I’m not helping the club, someone else will come in. That’s how it should be,” Guardiola said.
