The biggest surprise in the Premier League this season is how there is actually talk that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola could be sacked. The reigning Premier League champions have gone six straight games without a win, in a period where the sky blues have been unrecognizable.

For Pep Guardiola – who has won it all – this is a new situation. The manager admits that the trend must be broken as soon as possible. For his own sake.
“In this club, you have to win. If you don’t win, you’re in trouble”.
“I know what people are saying. ” Why is Pep not in trouble? Why hasn’t Pep been fired?”
The Manchester City manager continues:
“I have margins thanks to what we have done over the past eight years. People trust me. It’s not normal for a big club to have the results we’ve got, but we have to accept it. What is certain is that I will stay. But the moment I feel that I am not good for the club, then another coach takes over. It has to be like that,” Guardiola said at a press conference before Sunday’s game against Premier League leader Liverpool at Anfield.
Guardiola recently extended his contract with Manchester City. The new agreement extends over the 2026/27 season.
