Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Touré has suggested the possibility of a change to Pep Guardiola following the club’s fourth successive Champions League knockout.

According to the midfielder, the current ManCity manager has failed to deliver on his expected mandate in four years that he has been at the helm of affairs despite the heavy financial backing he receives from the club’s superiors in the transfer market.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Touré said that Spaniard has failed to win the Champions League, a trophy the club has longed for since the inception of the competition.

“Pep has been signed to bring the trophy to the club, and when you see your opponents like Liverpool win the trophy without doing a lot in the transfer market, it becomes quite strange and disappointing.

Everybody knows Pep is a great manager, but when things aren’t going your way, sometimes it’s time for change.”

It’s incredible how Pep has established the Citizens into a real competitive force on the domestic font, winning eight trophies in four years but lots of supporters, stakeholders are in dire need of a continental trophy to cement their status on the European scene.

David Silva, the star of an era signs off in a rather unusual season in the Premier League on Sunday against Norwich City with a simple message: I hope you enjoyed the show.

The Spanish playmaker arrived in England on the back of winning the World Cup with his native, Spain, blessed with many talents.

It’s no surprise that, since his arrival at the club, a decade ago, he has mesmerized many with his dazzling football, clever assists and once in blue thunderbolt goals which helped mold Manchester City into a powerhouse in English football under Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pelligrini at the time.

Silva is one of very few decorated players with many laurels to his credit, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and five EFL Cups with the Citizens.



His achievements with Spain is one that cannot be swept under the carpet, winning the World Cup and two European Championships with his country.

Silva said: “I arrived here having just won the World Cup. It was a change in country, league, language, and everything was quite tough, but my team-mates welcomed me and really looked after me and after a few months I settled in.

“I have always tried to do my absolute best, to always behave well and I have tried to work very hard too. I hope that people have enjoyed my football for all of these years.”

The diminutive talent has certainly paid off every dime of his £26 million transfer fee the club dished out to sign him, it’s amazing how opponents on the other side sing his praise anytime he takes to the field.

“When I look back at everything I have achieved I could never have imagined it, even in my wildest dreams,” Silva said.

City boss Pep Guardiola described Silva as an “extraordinary” performer.

Silva has scored 60 goals in 308 Premier League appearances for City.
