The 2025/2026 campaign has brought with it a distinctly recalibrated version of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.
After a disappointing 2024/2025 season, in which City failed to win a single trophy and only just managed to scrape into the UEFA Champions League places, Guardiola was forced into a period of tactical reflection.
His hallmark positional play, once unrivalled, appeared to lose its cutting edge, and with it came serious questions about his ability to reinvent a team that had so often set the benchmark for English and European football.
In response, Guardiola has subtly shifted his recruitment and tactical outlook.
The addition of players such as Tijjani Reijnders reflects a move away from the perpetual recycling of possession and towards individuals more comfortable carrying the ball directly through pressure.
This rebalancing act, prioritising transitional threat alongside positional stability, has already altered the rhythm of City’s game.
A prime example came in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal, where Guardiola’s side uncharacteristically conceded long spells of possession to Mikel Arteta’s men.
Instead of dictating every phase, City tailored their approach to the quality of the opposition, signalling a more pragmatic edge.
This Manchester City data analysis will explore these adjustments in depth, assessing how Guardiola’s recalculated blueprint might define Man City’s new era.
Paulo Fonseca was appointed by Olympique Lyonnais on the 31st of January, 2025, to improve overall performance and achieve European qualification.
Lyon had played 19 matches at that point and had only one win in their last five showings.
With him on board, they won seven of the next nine games, setting a positive benchmark.
Les Gones ended up finishing sixth in the Ligue 1 table, which earned them UEFA Europa League qualification.
Out of the 26 games he has managed so far, he has 17 wins, one draw, and eight losses, giving him an overall win percentage of 64.4%, much higher than the previous coach’s (57.1%).
Through this Paulo Fonseca tactical analysis, we are going to shed some light on the situation at Lyon and highlight the aspects in which he has improved his side, especially during the 2025/2026 season.
