After a challenging previous campaign, the city manager revealed he is relishing the pressure of a domestic and European hunt. The contrast between last season's struggles and the current hunt for silverware has clearly revitalised the former Barcelona coach.
"I love to be here again. Finishing second again is the minimum, so I love it. I didn't enjoy last season, and the moment to fight to qualify for the Champions League was difficult, but the Carabao Cup is in our pocket, and the FA Cup final at Wembley is the most beautiful day of the season, and I love it," he added. "When you arrive and have the feeling that the job can be done, well done. When you arrive fighting against Arsenal, with many changes, seeing how they help each other in every training session, it is a joy."
