For every manager in world football, the Manchester City boss is likely somewhat of a role-model.
From day one, Guardiola’s attractive brand of football has dazzled fans around the world as he has swept trophies up for fun while also being one of the game’s most unique personalities.

Pep Guardiola’s tactical ideas have also seemingly inspired other coaches around the world, with Gary Neville recently describing him as a “genius.”
It would be fair to claim that no other tactician in the history of the sport has been as dominant as the Catalan during his 16 years of management.
When Brentford boss Thomas Frank was quizzed about which three managers, past or present, he would love to go for dinner with, one of the names he took was fellow Premier League head honcho Pep Guardiola.
“[Jurgen] Klopp, [Pep] Guardiola and Sir Alex [Ferguson]. Those would be the three”, he told Sky Sports.
Thomas Frank was asked what he would talk about with Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Sir Alex Ferguson.
“I know we’ll just speak about football. Culture, football, everything, life and probably also, I could imagine we could laugh a bit.”
Imagine being a fly on the ball when Pep Guardiola and the Brentford boss are in conversation
Considering Thomas Frank is also one of the best managers in the Premier League, it would be interesting to hear his conversation with Pep Guardiola.
Both managers are renowned for evolving their sides by making unexpected tactical changes.
Guardiola has done so season after season while Frank notably did so to his Bees side after they gained Premier League promotion, making them a much more energetic and pragmatic side from their days in the Championship where they were known for their attacking prowess.
To be able to listen to the pair discuss their philosophies, the game’s current tactical trends and more would be a delight for most football fans in the world.
