Former Manchester City midfielder Didi Hamann feels manager Pep Guardiola is lucky to still be in the job.

Despite their phenomenal success since Guardiola's arrival, Hamann has been left unconvinced they have what it takes to challenge again - and revealed his surprise the Spaniard is still in a job.

Hamann, 47, told Talksport: "If you look at their record in the Champions League, any other manager would've been in big bother.

"Obviously he's got some Barcelona history in the boardroom and maybe that's why he's still there.

"He didn't reach a final with Bayern Munich or Man City – and if you look at the teams who did, they don't have the same funds.

"It's simply not good enough. If you look at the teams who beat them, I just wonder what has to happen for them to make a change.

"We don't like managers getting sacked, but I think any other manager would be in big bother."
