Pep Guardiola's failures would be a tickertape parade for most other coaches. That the F word is even used in conjunction with him says more about modern-day journalism than it does about any lacunae in his methods. In four seasons with Barcelona and three with Bayern Munich, Guardiola won six league titles. The one time he failed to win La Liga, in 2011-12, Barcelona finished with 28 wins and just three losses in the 38-game season."
