Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he would have been sacked by former clubs Barcelona and Bayern Munich if he had ended a season without a trophy.

City have failed to win any silverware in Guardiola’s debut season, and are not yet guaranteed a top-four Premier League finish with two games to play.

Guardiola’s side lost in the Champions League last 16, FA Cup semi-finals and League Cup fourth round.

“In my situation at a big club, I’m sacked. I’m out,” said the Spaniard.

“If it is Barcelona and Bayern, you don’t win and you are out. Here I have a second chance and I will try to do it better next season.”
