When it comes to his team’s success with penalties, PEP GUARDIOLA is considered the worst Premier League manager in league history.

Additionally, the specific stat can provide other top-tier monsters with an opening to exploit in upcoming matches.

Pep Guardiola ranks as the worst Premier League manager in history when it comes to penalty conversion rate

Guardiola has the worst 12-yard success rate of any manager in league history, with only 71% of his team’s penalties finding the back of the net.

After Erling Haaland missed his penalty kick against Sheffield United last month, the unfavorable statistic was solidified.

The talented forward missed a penalty shot at the post that would have given City the lead.

Though Haaland made up for his mistake with a goal in the second half, the treble winners were still able to earn all three points.

It is the first time he has missed a Premier League penalty, scoring seven from seven last season

The Blades were able to draw even thanks to Jayden Bogle, but it was Rodri who subsequently smashed the winning goal into the top corner.

Paul Heckingbottom, the manager of Sheffield United, could be wishing his team had given up MORE penalties.

Teams may believe that conceding penalties will help them avoid scoring since Guardiola’s star-studded City team exudes an air of inevitability.

That’s probably not going to happen, and the Premier League’s administration will be searching for more tactically smart ways to stop the Cityzens.

In the league last year, the Manchester team was awarded 10 penalties, and nine of them were successful.

However, Haaland did score a penalty-kick goal in City’s 5-1 victory over Fulham, giving him a hat-trick.

Guardiola will believe his penalty conversion rate puts him in elite company, though.

managerial aristocracy When it comes to throwing away pens, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are also among the top six worst managers.

Arsene Wenger saw his players miss 27 of the 119 penalties they took during his time at Arsenal

Sir Alex Ferguson has the fifth-worst conversion rate from the spot in Premier League history

With 77 percent of his Arsenal players’ attempted penalties failing, Wenger has the sixth-worst record.

Although Sir Alex has the sixth worst percentage at 75%, 27 of the 109 penalties taken while the Scot was in charge were either missed or saved
