\
Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini, has claimed that their
season fell apart, after Pep Guardiola was announced as his replacement.
The
Premier League club confirmed in February, that Guardiola would take
over after this season. City went on to lose two home matches against
title rivals, Leicester City and Tottenham in the following two weeks.
“Of
course for different reasons we lost important games in February,
against Leicester and Tottenham, two games which do not allow us to be
involved in the title,” Pellegrini said.
“It’s because between now and the end of May we need to play eight games in one month.
“I
am frustrated because we never expected to lose those games at home
against Leicester and Tottenham. But there are a lot of reasons why
those things happened, it’s not normal in the way we are going to finish
the season.
“At the start of February there was news about the
change of the manager, about players who will not continue here next
season, about a lot of things that involved the minds of all the
players.
“It’s not easy for the players when you read in
newspapers all things that will happen next season, all the players who
will go out, all the players that will come in. It’s not easy for the
players to focus their mind.”
City are third in the Premier League table, 13 points behind leaders, Leicester, with five games left.
