If you have been somewhere and poured your all into it, yet the desired results are not showing, it may simply be time to move on.
Sometimes, time breeds overfamiliarity, complacency, and lowered standards. I began to notice this creeping slowly into the Man City squad two seasons ago, and now we are paying the price for it.
The discipline and the tiki-taka football that once gave City so much possession, allowing them to complete 40–50 uninterrupted passes, sometimes ending in a goal, have become things of the past. We now give away possession even when we are not under pressure. Yesterday, I watched Semenyo run the ball out beyond the touchline, and I shook my head at how low we had fallen.
Yet we would still finish the league second on the table and win two domestic trophies. That would satisfy many ordinary coaches, but not Pep, not people who have raised their standards so high.
So here’s wishing him the very best as he moves on at the end of the season, even though the announcement was leaked prematurely.
And to you out there, maybe the issue is not you. Maybe you simply need to move away from that job. For those whose relationships are struggling because of overfamiliarity, maybe it is time to return to the basics again.
Sometimes, there has to be a retreat before there can be a refiring.
Have a great day, and cheers!
