England wanted Pep Guardiola as head coach. A few days ago, Ronaldo Nazario said that he will bring the Spanish coach for the Seleção if he becomes the president of the Brazilian Football Federation in the next election. But Guardiola is not going anywhere for now. Staying in the English Premier League.
Guardiola has renewed his contract with Manchester City for another 2 years. Staying at Etihad until 2027. Who would not want a successful and experienced coach like him? The CTO is reluctant to let go of the 'duck that laid the golden egg' for now. “I can't go now,” Guardiola said after signing the new contract.
How to go! Now it's time for Guardiola to clean his house. City have lost four matches in a row in all competitions. This is the first time Guardiola has lost four matches in a row in his coaching career. And that's why he decided not to go anywhere now, 'maybe I don't want to leave because of four losses.'
City have not seen the face of victory since the defeat in the League Cup at Tottenham on the last day of October. They face Spurs tomorrow night in their first match back from the international break. Citizens will be able to get out of the circle of loss at home with revenge? The four-time champions of the league have to return to victory to close the gap with Liverpool in the race for the title. That said, Guardiola also faces several challenges. Chief among them has been the return of Chotjorjar City to its old rhythm.
Rodri won the first Ballon d'Or in City's history. However, the Spanish defensive midfielder's current season has ended due to injury. In his absence, City's midfield and defense have become threadbare. Injuries have become a headache for Guardiola. Defenders Kyle Walker, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias and John Stones are also injured. Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish are also not fully fit. Phil Foden has lost his rhythm. Ilkay Gundowan returns but is unable to show his previous form.
City have no choice but to return to their best form to regain the Champions League title. However, City's position is number 10 in the points list of this new European competition. They have to finish in the top eight to go directly to the last sixteen. Guardiola's other challenge has been to instill in his followers the hunger for those earlier victories. Hearing the news of his new contract may give the citizens the motivation to wake up again.
