Real Madrid, Barcelona Would Have Sacked Me - Guardiola Admits
- Pep Guardiola admitted on DAZN in mid-2025 that his poor 2024-25 season at Manchester City would have led to his sacking in Spain at Barcelona or Real Madrid.
- This admission followed Manchester City's challenging campaign characterized by the worst performance under Guardiola since 2016, including early Champions League exit and FA Cup final defeat.
- Despite losing nine of 13 matches late October to mid-December and finishing third, 13 points behind Liverpool, Manchester City's hierarchy extended Guardiola's contract and backed his squad reinforcement.
- Guardiola highlighted Carlo Ancelotti as an example of differing expectations between clubs, noting that despite recently securing both the Champions League and LaLiga titles, Ancelotti left Real Madrid to take up a coaching role in Brazil.
- The events suggest that while Guardiola faced intense scrutiny this season, Manchester City's support contrasts with the less forgiving culture at major Spanish clubs, highlighting differing management expectations.
