Pep Guardiola's Record As A Manager Is Unbelievable
Pep Guardiola has been criticised by the fickle, time and time again over the years.
But his latest piece of silverware is just further proof of his incredible leadership and talent when it comes to management. The Spaniard takes risks and more often than not, they pay off.
He employed Messi in the now-famous ‘false nine’ role and he went on to score 47 goals that season. He gave debuts to Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto, not to forget the talented Thiago Alcantara.
We are talking about a coach who has revolutionised football, for giving those the opportunity to shine and employing them in the right roles,
Just look at young Phil Foden, who has flourished under his guidance.
Following hugely successful spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the Spaniard has come in and transformed the landscape of English football. He struggled at first, but his philosophy soon rubbed off on Manchester City and they have since reaped the rewards.
Despite City winning the Premier League double, not to mention the League Cup victory over Chelsea in February, many have jumped on the ‘let’s slate Guardiola’ bandwagon.
But I ask you step back and look at his overall record.
The 48-year-old has lost just 68 matches in 623 games, and his teams have scored 1,487 goals in those matches; an average of 2.57 goals per game.
Never underestimate Pep Guardiola.
