Manchester City<\/a> have been urged to consider sacking Pep Guardiola<\/a> after their latest humbling defeat against Arsenal<\/a> at the weekend.<\/p>\n

City were convincingly beaten 5-1 away to Arsenal on Sunday<\/a>, extending Guardiola’s winless run against the Gunners to five games in all competitions.<\/p>\n

The result also continues City’s turbelent season which sees the defending Premier League champions fighting to stay inside the top four.<\/p>\n

City endured a particularly barren run towards the end of 2024<\/a>, winning justtwo out of their final 15 matches in all comeptitions to round out the calendar year.<\/p>\n

Despite that form, the club chose to stick by Guardiola, signing the Spaniard to a two-year contract extension in November<\/a> in the middle of the disappointing run.<\/p>\n

City also invested heavily in the January transfer window<\/a> in a bid to rejuvinate their squad, signing Omar Marmoush<\/a>, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov for a combined \u00a3123million.<\/p>\n

However, their results and performanes have remained inconsisent, losing handsomely against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League before their thumping defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.<\/p>\n

And now, former Manchester United centre-back Mikael Silvestre believes that the club should be considering whether now is the right time to part ways with their legendary manager.<\/p>\n

‘Honestly I would (consider sacking Guardiola). If I was running the club or I was an executive, I would have these thoughts with the owners,’ Silvestre said on beIN Sports.<\/p>\n

‘How many times have they been trying to readdress the team and make sure they’re winning games and dominating like they used to. It’s not working.’<\/p>\n

Andy Gray, however, insisted it would be hard to imagine that City are going to act so hastily despite the latest performance.<\/p>\n

‘The level of consistency over four years has been staggering and that buys you some credit even after half a season of bad form,’ he said.<\/p>\n
