Pep Guardiola, Manchester City FC’s manager has revealed that handling the Premier League side has been tougher than he thought it would be.
The former Barcelona FC coach who spent some time also with Bayern Munich admitted that he is under pressure to improve the team and its standing in the Premier League.
Speaking after he crashed out of the Champions league and after the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool FC, Guardiola who had always managed to reach the semi-final of the Champions league competition said: “It’s the first time in my career as a manager when I feel that now is the moment you have to see yourself like a manager.”
Guardiola whose team is behind Chelsea FC on the EPL table by 10 points continued: “That’s the first time. For the other ones, I was so lucky managing and training big clubs.
“Now is the first time I want to help the team so people say: ‘Wow, Pep could do that again at a team in England and at Manchester City’. I love this club and want to be here for a long long time. I want to try to do it.”
