When everything is going well, the praise goes to the team, but when you lose the coach is to blame. "It's not easy for a trainer to get used to a new club and a new league."He simply needs time. In the end, I'm convinced he'll do a fantastic job at Manchester City, just like he did at Bayern." Guardiola led Bayern to three successive Bundesliga titles during his time in Germany, along with two German Cup triumphs, Super Cup success and a Club World Cup win.Those honours were added to a long list of accolades picked up at Barcelona – including three La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns. There are still three pieces of silverware up for grabs this season, with City looking to force their way back into the Premier League race while progressing through to the latter stages of the FA Cup and Champions League.</blockquote>
