Sergio Aguero claims Pep Guardiola is the key to reversing Manchester City's recent struggles, including a challenging FA Cup match against lower-tier Leyton Orient. Currently 15 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League and facing additional Champions League fixtures after failing to qualify automatically, City is undergoing a squad rebuild. Despite early success, the team has suffered from consecutive defeats and performance inconsistencies. Aguero acknowledges the difficulty of competing for titles but steadfastly believes in Guardiola's coaching ability to navigate through these testing times.
"This year I think it will be very difficult [to win the Premier League]. They started very well but they had a bad few weeks," Aguero told Sky Sports News.
"Guardiola is a very good coach and the only one who can change the situation. It won't be easy."
"City began 2024/25 looking to win an unprecedented fifth successive league title, but now face a battle just to ensure they don't fail to finish in the top four altogether."
"The worst of those struggles have eased, but a costly Champions League loss against Paris Saint-Germain and a Premier League thrashing by Arsenal have been alarming."
