#6 Hart-less Pep
Trending
One of the biggest summer signings was pulled off around December last year when it was announced that Pep Guardiola would be leaving Bayern Munich to take up the helm of affairs at Manchester City.
The Blue half of Manchester needed a systematic overhaul, as a fourth place finish was definitely not good enough to save Manuel Pellegrini’s job.
Pep enforced his tactics and strict regimen as soon as he arrived at City. Players who reported overweight were not allowed to train with the first team and had to work individually to shed those extra pounds. High profile victims of this regimen include French midfielder Samir Nasri.
The biggest shakeup probably occurred in the goalkeeping department, as long-time City custodian and fan favourite, Joe Hart was relegated to the bench; his place in the first team going to Argentine Willy Caballero.
Despite being a fan favourite, Hart fell out of favour with Pep pretty quickly, and after the signing of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona, it was certain that he had no place in the team and was loaned out to Torino in Serie A.
