Outgoing Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini, has blamed the club's management for their poor performance in February; saying the announcement of Pep Guardiola as the new manager demoralised the players and ultimately dropped out of the Premier League title chase.
City are currently 13 points behind the prospective EPL champions, Leicester City after 33 league
games, and the Chilean said that they should never have lost to Leicester and Tottenham but for the distractions.
The former Real Madrid manager also believe that the next three weeks will be tough for the blue half of Manchester, with about five EPL games left to play and another herculean task against Real Madrid in the semi finals.
"Of course for different reasons we lost important games in February, against Leicester and Tottenham, two games which do not allow us to be involved in the title," the outgoing City manager said.
"It's because between now and the end of May we need to play eight games in one month.
"I am frustrated because we never expected to lose those games at home against Leicester and Tottenham. But there are a lot of reasons why those things happened, it's not normal in the way we are going to finish the season.
"At the start of February there was news about the change of the manager, about players who will not continue here next season, about a lot of things that involved the minds of all the players.
"It's not easy for the players when you read in newspapers all things that will happen next season, all the players who will go out, all the players that will come in. It's not easy for the players to focus their mind."
