Pep Guardiola is managing Manchester City; He has helped his side become one of the best teams across Europe. The Spaniard has won three Premier League titles along with five other major English titles since his appointment in 2016. Even though he has been incredible domestically his side has failed to win the Champions League; In the 2020-2021 season, they lost the finals to Chelsea.
This season Manchester City is coming third in the table two points off the league leaders Chelsea. They have been in exceptional form and have only recorded one loss in the first nine games.

Furthermore, in the Champions League, the Manchester side is coming second; as they have won two out of the three matches they have played.

I’m pretty sure sooner or later it will happen… in case it does… I don’t have any doubts he’s ready to do the job.” Manchester City’s manager further added that, “He knows the environment which is so important in this role. He knows the game, he has passion. He has more experience now than I had when I took over from the ‘B’ team at Barcelona.“
