Football star coach Pep Guardiola made the worst start to the season in his professional coaching career with Manchester City.
The Citizens did not get more than 1: 1 (0: 1) at West Ham United and are now after five games in the Premier League and only eight points in twelfth place in the table.
He had never started a season worse at his stations at FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Guardiola has been training in Manchester since 2016 and has won the championship twice.
City had already lost to Leicester City in the past few weeks and drew against Leeds United.
Michail Antonio gave the hosts in London the lead with an overhead kick (18th minute).
Phil Foden, who was substituted at half time, equalized just six minutes later.
For City, Raheem Sterling gave away in the final phase in front of goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (86th).
Riyad Mahrez also failed in stoppage time from close range on the Polish goalkeeper, who steered the ball to the outside post (90 + 3).

Guardiola looked frustrated on the sidelines.
In addition to the missed win, it had to do with Sergio Aguero's injury;
the striker had to go out at halftime with a thigh injury.
In addition to Agüero, City is missing another striker in Gabriel Jesus due to injury.
In the event of a longer downtime by Agüero, Guardiola would have to play in the coming games without a regular center forward.
In the end, City had 70 percent possession, but it wasn't enough to win.
West Ham coach David Moyes was delighted with his team's draw, "I don't think many people expected it," he said.
