Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has admitted the club did not end up “anywhere near” achieving its goals in 2024/25 but said lessons have been learned as a result of their disappointing season.
Having won four of the last five Premier League titles, City were essentially out of the race by the end of November this time around and ended up without a single major trophy to their name for the first time since 2016/17, Pep Guardiola’s first season in charge.
In his annual post-season interview, he told the club website: “There’s been a lot of challenges that we’ve, I’ve never dealt with personally, professionally, over these last 17 years combined.
“And the culmination of that is an experience that I believe will be invaluable for us going forward.
“This year is another year where I think when I look back, last summer, we probably should have been more aggressive in some of the changes we needed to do.
“We didn’t do that and that ended up costing us this year. We already started that rebuild of this team in January.
“Normally we like to do our business in the summer and only in case of emergency, a special need that comes up, do we actually go and do business in January.
“That’s been our MO at least for the last seven or eight years. But this January, we had to act.”
