Widely celebrated and decorated Manager Josef Pep Guardiola has come under serious scrutiny these past few weeks in the English Premier League following a string of embarrassing results for his Manchester City side.
The Citizens are currently going through their worst moments in recent years, infact since the Arabian conglomerate took over the affairs of the club.
Guardiola during his reign won four English Premier League titles, a feat that has never been posted by any Manager in the English League. He also won the highly-coveted UEFA Champions League title last season making it an impressive treble but the Spaniard is literally fighting for his football future at the moment despite just putting pen to paper a few weeks ago in a celebrated manner.
Since putting pen to paper over a contract extension and losing Ballon Dor Winner Rodri to a long injury lay-off, Pep and his men have endured one torrid moment after the other. They have endured shock losses to clubs such as Bournemouth, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspurs, Manchester United and the latest loss to Unai Emery's men Aston villa.
To think that many thought Guardiola had nipped the defeats in the bud when he faced neighbours Manchester United, little did he know his neighbours would beat his team to it at full time.
It is left to be seen if results will go Guardiola's way as we march into year 2025. One thing is clear, the Manchester City hierarchy are in awe of Pep's managerial prowess and process. The footballing world are keen to see how this particular drama would pan out in the coming weeks.
