#3 The Pep Effect

Pep Guardiola: The mastermind behind the Blues success

Starting his managerial first-team career with European and Spanish giant, Barcelona, Pep Guardiola is considered to be Barcelona's best manager to date. 14 trophies in a mere four seasons as a manager of Barcelona speaks to his tactical genius.

He left Barcelona after the 2011/12 season and flew to Germany in 2013 to coach Bayern Munich. New team but his tactical mindset never changed. Hence, he ended up winning seven trophies in three seasons.

But now it was the season of 2016/17 and the tactician, Pep was all set to coach Manchester City - The Sky Blues. Since his arrival at Manchester City, the growth of the team has developed exponentially.

New signings, new plans, and a high press - Pep Guardiola did everything to take this club to new heights.

Like 2017/18 season where his team was finally crowned as the champions, Pep Guardiola is again showing his pressing and countering opponents high press gameplay. Pep is one of the key reason for City's recent success and seeing his tactical genius in first two league games, he is again going to repeat the history.

The Premier League has never seen the tactics Pep and Co. are offering on the field now and everyone is admitting it. Former Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle after Tottenham's defeat against City said: "We're seeing things we've not seen before on a football pitch."

That's the disposition of this Man City manager which might give them an extra notch to aim high for Premier League's cup again.
