After the declarations of the new manager of Leeds, Sam Allardyce, that he is on the same level as Guardiola, Klopp and Arteta, the manager of Manchester City he answered, at the press conference ahead of Saturday’s match between them, for the 35th matchday of the Premier League.
The Spanish coach emphasized that he agrees with the opinion of his experienced colleague, adding that there are many experienced English coaches who do a very good job in his teams, also citing the example of Roy Hodgson.
“He is right. I want to be honest. We see what Hodgson is doing with Crystal Palace. They are really good coaches, with fantastic experience, they know the game perfectly. He has charisma, he knows how to handle the pressure his players feel and he knows exactly what to do in those situations when the stay is played.”he initially reported and went on to say:
“Those of us who are 35, 40, 45 years old think we founded football. No, football existed before us and these coaches have been in this league for a long time and have made us what we are today. There are many English managers who do very well in their teams. You don’t have to be young to be a good coach. Experience plays a big role”.
“Sam Allardyce is right.”
Some will inevitably suggest that Pep Guardiola is being mischievous by saying this but he is consistent in highlighting his admiration for managers like Allardyce and Neil Warnock.
