Is Pep Guardiola Really The Great Manager As Portrayed By The Media?

1st February 2016 – Manchester City announced that Pep Guardiola will be taking over from Manuel Pellegrini as manager as of next season. City fans rejoiced, all pundits and neutrals were looking forward to seeing Guardiola in the premier league next season and City are already favourites to win the treble next year.

Pep Guardiola is a very good manager, winning 14 trophies with Barcelona and 7 trophies with Bayern Munich, but I personally believe he has had an easy managerial career and has had enough resources behind him to make his job easy.

Guardiola took over from Frank Rijkaard at Barcelona at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season and took some big steps in selling Ronaldinho, Deco and Gianluca Zambrotta, who were key in Barcelona’s team.
