When it comes to seeing things, preparing for matches, and communicating with the players, he's very complete. He's the best, and we were lucky to have him at Barcelona. He got together with the players we had and the right pieces came together for what he intended, to achieve everything that was achieved."
"For me, Guardiola is unique. He went to other places and continued winning. It's not just because of winning but because of the way his teams played. He did at Bayern, although he couldn't win the Champions League there, he changed the way the game was played in Germany, the same in England with City, he changed the way the league is played."
Pep Guardiola guided Barcelona to 14 major titles between 2008 and 2012 and assembled the right players to achieve those goals. Guardiola later won consecutive Bundesliga crowns with Bayern and accumulated 18 trophies with Manchester City, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League. Guardiola reshaped playing styles in Germany and England, altering how leagues are contested. Guardiola recently reached his 1,000th match as a manager.
