Pep Guardiola’s very early banes have actually signed up with pressures. The Catalan’s very first loss as Manchester Mayor was brought upon by Mauricio Pochettino, his 2nd by Chelsea. In his initial period in England, 2016-17, his City completed a remote 3rd, behind Chelsea and Pochettino’s Tottenham.
