Exclusive: Pep Guardiola Opens Up In Revealing Interview - SoccerBible

It’s difficult to be prepared for an interview with someone like Pep Guardiola. The all-conquering Spaniard, champion in each of the three of Europe’s big five leagues he’s graced so far, is humble to a fault. Despite his success, despite his teams playing some of the most aesthetically...

A great manager, but not the greatest of all time.

Sir Alex was better, and Brian Clough, and Bill (Frankly Mr) Shankly…

Pep is right up there but Sir Alex was just a level above any everyone else. Never been a fan of Man Utd as that is a massive understatement but I have to acknowledge that’s Sir Alex was an amazing manager. The way he built and rebuilt teams from next to nothing to winners was genius.

Pep has never taken over a struggling club. Until he does he cannot be spoken of as the best of all time.

Ferguson took over a Man United side who had failed to win the title for almost 20 years. Meanwhile Liverpool were riding high.

If Pep had moved to a club like Spurs or Newcastle (pre-takeover) and won the title with them, that would have been 100 times more impressive than what he’s done with City.

I recall Mani promising that The Stone Roses would reunite if City ever won the Champions League. Whilst he was suggesting the latter was unlikely, I nevertheless hope some revival is being contemplated.

I don't see that happening... again.

Give him Sunderland and see how that turns out

I expect you’re right. Sadly.

Pep Guardiola looks kinda hot in The Smiths t-shirt.

Very sad indeed.

If he's due to take over a struggling club why not put him in as manager of Morrissey? A couple of his best players have left the team and he can't get signed to save his life.

Before that it is a Saint Laurent T-shirt, that's maybe why a footballer is wearing it...

It is a poorly printed shirt for the price it would've been. The graphic should be at least three times the size it is.

No need for that!

He'd look hotter with it off!

I don't think being wrong that one time in 2009 really diminishes Ferguson's legendary standing in the game.

That was only a year after the oil takeover of City. Like many people, perhaps he believed the new owners would soon get bored and stop bankrolling them.

Being wrong once is fine, but how beautifully wrong he was.
