Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has come out to say that he would have been sacked by Barcelona or Real Madrid for his poor performance last season. Pep recently said that he doesn't think he would've escaped the sack at both La Liga clubs, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he would have been jobless if he was coaching in the Spanish league because the top teams in Spain are not very patient with underperforming managers.

Pep added that Manchester City deserves a lot of praise for giving him more time to fix the team.

His words, "With the year we've had, if this were Spain, I wouldn't be coaching in October, November or December. If this were Barça or Madrid, they would have sacked me.

But here it wasn't even a question. You have to have a little more patience.

Look at Carlo Ancelotti He won the Champions League and LaLiga four days ago and now he's off to coach in Brazil."

WOW.

Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City. Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, the youngest to win the UEFA Champions League, and he also holds the records for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.

Guardiola has played for and advocated on behalf of the Catalonia football team. Between 1995 and 2005, he played seven friendly games for Catalonia.

Under Guardiola's predecessor Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona were known for a 4-3-3 with plenty of flair with Ronaldinho being the centre point of the attack. Under Guardiola, however, the team became more disciplined with a greater focus on possession and a disciplined and aggressive pressing style.

Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is an atheist. Guardiola met his wife Cristina Serra when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014.
