Pep Guardiola confesses that he becomes ‘bored’ at Manchester City and feels the need to implement significant changes
Pep Guardiola has openly acknowledged that his tendency to frequently alter Manchester City’s tactics stems from a desire to avoid getting ‘bored’. The City manager, renowned for his innovative approach, regularly shifts formations and player roles to maintain both his and his team’s engagement.

Since taking charge of Manchester City in 2016, Guardiola has consistently refreshed his tactical setup, regardless of the team’s success. His strategies have evolved season after season, with significant adjustments often leading to continued success on the pitch. This season, for example, Guardiola has implemented a 3-2-4-1 formation featuring a back three of Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol, which helped City secure a 2-0 victory at Chelsea in their league opener.

In an interview with ESPN, Guardiola revealed his motivation for these frequent changes. “It’s because otherwise I get bored,” he said. “Always doing the same thing for eight years would be very boring. That’s the first thing.” He further explained that his tactical shifts are also a response to opponents who adjust their strategies based on City’s previous tactics. “If you do something and it goes well, they watch you and create an antidote. We have to respond again,” he noted.
Guardiola’s approach is not new; he employed similar tactics during his tenures at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. However, the key difference at City is the length of his stay. Unlike his previous roles, where he spent four years at Barcelona and three at Bayern, Guardiola is now entering his ninth season at City. This extended period has given him more scope to innovate and adapt, ensuring that his tactics remain unpredictable and effective.
The dynamic nature of Guardiola’s strategies highlights his commitment to keeping both his team and himself challenged, while continuously pushing the boundaries of football tactics.
