Pep’s the best boss of all time says Nev
PEP Guardiola could be the best manager of all time — says Man United legend Gary Neville.
That would put him ahead of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson along with the likes of Bob Paisley who had an incredible trophy-winning run.
Neville points to the amazing record of the City gaffer in cup finals to back up his claim.
He said: “You just have to recognise Man City’s outstanding football, the outstanding achievement of winning the League Cup four times on the bounce.
“Pep Guardiola has an outstanding record in cup competitions, it’s 14 victories and one defeat in 15 finals, it’s absolutely out of this world. The football they play is magnificen.
“I think Man City may have the greatest manager of all time and we’ll look back in 10, 15, 20 years’ time.
“Look at the way he has infiltrated countries, dominated football but also influenced others, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.
Technical
“You look at how he’s won in three different countries, he’s now dominating in this country — he’s going to win the league title in the next few weeks, that’s three in five years and these are massive achievements.
“Playing the way they do, with technical players, dominating possession.”
Although Pep has won the Champions League with Barcelona, he needs to lift the trophy at City to join the greats.
Neville added: “The big one is the Champions League and it’s a huge couple of weeks coming up against Paris SaintGermain because if they were to win that, then they would have a great chance.
“That would be the cherry on the icing on the top of the cake of Guardiola’s reign at City because I don’t think he can leave without winning it. It would feel incomplete if he left this country without winning the Champions League.”
