Pep Guardiola has coached many players during his time in charge of Manchester City.
Since being appointed as City’s manager back in 2016, the 53-year-old has overlooked 472 games in total across all competitions, winning 349, drawing 57 and losing 66, lifting many trophies along the way.
Out of the many players he’s used at the club, one of the more obscure figures currently on the book at the Etihad Stadium has shared how it’s been for him to be coached by such a significant figure in football.
Luke Mbete shares what it’s been like to be trained by Pep Guardiola
Speaking in a recent video shared on the talkSPORT YouTube channel, Mbete had this to say about what it has been like to train under Guardiola at City.
He said: “I think it’s a beautiful experience. I’m fortunate enough to train under Pep and to be with the players.
“I’ve learned so much and I’m just grateful for the warm welcome that I had when I joined and I’m happy to be around them.”
Mbete isn’t the only City player to buzz off training with Guardiola
Back in June, after signing a new deal with the Citizens, Stefan Ortega shared how much he’s enjoyed working with and learning from the Spaniard, which shows that Mbete isn’t the only one to get a kick out of being around City manager and the other players in the senior squad.
The 20-year-old has made 61 appearances for City’s youth ranks and three for the senior side under Guardiola.
Mbete spent last season on loan at Dutch club FC Den Bosch where he made 24 appearances in total.
With the defender’s contract at City not set to expire until 2027, it’ll be interesting to see what the remainder of the summer transfer window will hold for him and what the next step in his career could be.
