Guardiola has done what no coach in the history of Manchester city has done for club, he practically transformed Manchester city into an elite club, winning all the important trophies in club football, the champions league, the premiership, the FA cup, the FIFA world club championship, now if you were the owner of the club, will you sack a manager of such repute because he lost four games in a row?
There are many reasons for Manchester City to keep Pep Guardiola but the coach has many reasons to end his era in Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is a coach like Zidane, when he feels enough, he will leave. Manchester City will not be able to convince Pep Guardiola to stay especially if the coach himself feels that he already hits his limits and players there hit their limits too.

In as much the Manchester city hierarchy may want to retain Pep Guardiola, I do not think Pep Guardiola is similar to Zinedine Zidane, Pep is adventurous and very charismatic and has a very unique philosophy which is very rare amongst football coaches, unlike Zinedine Zidane who is not as versatile as Pep. Zidane hasn't taken any other job except Real Madrid and hasn't also experienced the kind of pressure that coaches face in football, as a matter of fact, Zinedine Zidane has turned down a number of high profile jobs from top clubs in Europe with reason best known to him.
