Manchester City manager Guardiola's 5 worst signings

When it comes to the best managers in the world, Guardiola is a must-see. He helped Barcelona to a golden era, helped Manchester City win trophies and become one of the best teams in Europe. Today, we will be looking at the 5 worst signings that Guardiola made that didn't work for his team.

1. Nolito

In 2015, Nolito, a promising player in La Liga, was signed from Spanish club Celta Vigo for £13.8 million. He started his career with Manchester City, scoring 7 goals in 9 appearances. His form was a bit of a letdown, and he struggled to adapt to the Premier League and played one season with City before moving to Sevilla.

2. Maro Moreno

Atletico Madrid signed Colombian forward Maro Moreno for a fee of £4.75m in 2016. The Colombian international failed to make the breakthrough for Manchester City, where he was loaned out seven times in his six-year spell at the club. He then moved to Troyes in 2022.

3. Bravo

Bravo was signed from Barcelona for £17m to replace Joe Hart as Manchester City's goalkeeper. He has been criticised for not being a reliable goalkeeper for City, making 61 appearances and conceding 60 goals. In 2020, he moved to Spanish club Real Betis.

4. Benjamín Mane

Mane was signed by Manchester City from Monaco in 2017 for a fee of 52 million euros, a huge sum for a defender. Mane has struggled to make a name for himself at City, with injuries a major problem. In 2021, he was released by City after a legal dispute.

5. Kevin Phillips

Manchester City have signed Kevin Phillips for a fee of 42 million euros, having impressed for both the Premier League club and the England national team. The move did not go as planned, with Phillips spending most of his time on the bench. Phillips' weight gain has been a major criticism of Guardiola. He has spent time on loan at West Ham United and Ipswich Town and is still struggling to find his form.

Here are the 5 worst signings by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. Thanks to everyone who read to the end.
