Is Pep the greatest?

There isn't another manager in world football whose teams are so readily identifiable and vastly different than Pep's.

That is what sets him apart. Long after he has gone.

He provides a core heartbeat and legacy, not a fly by night which will be gone with the passing of a torch.
Similar to Cruyff at Barca, his legacy still exists 30 yrs later, Pep is a progressed version of his tenure, hopefully coaches like Arteta can fill similarly fill the void
 
Pep has transformed the way we play football and now, other coaches are learning that our traditional style of play will not win anything anymore. He will change the face of English football, and our club, forever. That takes someone very, very special.
 
Pep's won 6 of the last 7 domestic trophies, breaking about 27 Premier League and/or top flight all-time English records.

And people bang on about money but we've spent less than Fulham in the past year.

He's taken more points and won more games in a season, than anyone else in English football.
He's done the only ever domestic treble.

He's set the longest winning run in English top flight history.
He's scored the most goals in a season of any English side ever.

Could go on and on with his achievements but not enough time or space...

Yes, he's the greatest.
 
Boxing - Muhamnad Ali.
Football - Pep Guardiola.

The greatest. ;)

This all day long.
 
I can only really comment on City managers, because they are the ones I’ve watched at close quarters throughout their tenures. Obviously you see the way the team play but also you see the interviews, the way fringe players are treated, the subs, the tactical changes, the morale in the squad...everything.

Pep is ten times as good as anybody we have ever had.

Yup and yet I don’t feel he is adored as widely as he should be among our support; in addition to not getting enough recognition more widely for his achievements and brilliance.

We would not have won every domestic trophy in one season under any other coach,

I do ultimately expect him to be recognised as the GOAT.
 
Pep doesnt just change the football club he coaches , he changes the whole league , in Germany a lot of teams and the national team changed to his style of football and now in England , Southgate and half of the Premier league are emulating his playing style , that is a sign of true greatness when he has the ability to change the football philosophy of a football nation , he makes Klippety's style of football look neanderthal.
