#5 Lack of pressure upstairs
One of the worst things plaguing Pep Guardiola during his reign at Bayern Munich and even the latter stages of his time at Barcelona was the significant turmoil upstairs. Despite reaching the semi-final in each of his seasons in Munich, Guardiola was under relentless pressure in the German media, who never let the fact that Jupp Heynckes won the trophy before he arrived be forgotten.

In sharp contrast, Manchester City's owners have been relatively patient, affording plenty of leeway to most of the managers they have employed. Now that Guardiola has been backed in the transfer market, the Spaniard can focus on ensuring that he returns to the European pinnacle, safe in the knowledge that whether it takes him another 2-3 years, he will be be given the time.
Thus Guardiola, the master of details, can tweak and tinker to his pursuit of perfection, and we might finally see him end Manchester City's wait for the UEFA Champions League this season.
