Pep to put pressure on us, says Aguero

LONDON. — Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero expects incoming manager Pep Guardiola to “put a lot of pressure on the players” when he takes charge of the club in the summer.

Manchester City completed a mixed campaign on Sunday with a 1-1 draw at Swansea City to finish fourth in the English Premier League, but they did manage to reach the Champions League soccer semi-finals for the first time in the club’s history and beat Liverpool on penalties to lift the League Cup.

Guardiola is regarded as one of the world’s most highly-rated managers after claiming 20 trophies during spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and will take over at Manchester City from departing boss Manuel Pellegrini on July 1.

Under Pellegrini, Manchester City won their second English Premier League title in three seasons in 2014 but the Chilean failed to build on that success, and Aguero says it is vital that the club “advance” under Guardiola next season. — Sky Sports.
