Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has claimed he would have been sacked by Barcelona or Bayern Munich, if he had delivered the kind of season he has had at the Etihad.
Guardiola has finished a season trophyless, for the first time in his managerial career and is looking to secure third place in the Premier League with two fixtures left.
He however admits he has a “second chance” and that he would not have been so lucky at “a big club”.
“I came here to try to win this year, but it was not possible,” he told reporters.
“I will try with the club, with the players, with the staff, with the chairman, with the sporting director, to do it. And after that and the results are not [good], if we are judged just for the results, we will be sacked and another one is coming here, and you will be here again with the new manager, and you will make the same questions, so that is what it is.
“I am not staying here because I am Pep or what I have done a long time ago, I know what the problem is. I am not going to be [wondering] all summer ‘Oh what will happen next season if I don’t win some titles’.
“Pressure is what I had when I arrived in Barcelona, when I had nothing to defend [myself with]. At that club if in six months you don’t win you are really out, like Barcelona or Bayern Munich, there you have to win by far.
“If not, they don’t give you a second chance. Here they gave me a second chance and we will try to do it. In my situation at a big club: I’m sacked. I’m out. Sure. Definitely. At the clubs I worked at before I am not here, but here we have a second chance and we will try to do it better than this season.”
