admin Pep Guardiola has named the six players who he thinks are the greatest of all time.
Guardiola will go down in history as one of the best managers ever having managed huge clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
The 53-year-old led City to a record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title during the 23/24 season after holding off the challenge from Arsenal.
Guardiola has managed some of the world’s best players throughout his career, including the likes of Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland.
