Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that even if he was once considered the best manager in the world, he does not hold that title anymore.
Pep believes the only reason why he was called the best in the first place is because he is managing a City that is winning trophies.
According to him, when he won 6 titles in a row in Barcelona and won trebles he never felt he was the best in the world since his players played a huge part.
He added that he is a good manager, but definitely not the best.
His words, “I was,” before taking a step back to say that he never once thought of himself in such high regard.
“What is the best coach in the world?” he added. “I never felt I am the best, never in my life.
“When I won six titles in a row in Barcelona and won trebles, I never felt that. I won because I had extraordinary players at big clubs.
“There are incredible managers, they don’t have these players, they don’t have these big clubs. I’m a good manager but not the best.
“Give me a team that is not like Manchester City, I am not going to win.”
“Liverpool spent four or five years to win their first trophy last season,”
“It was a process. New players, investment, more and more, and after they got them they are the best team in the world right now.
“Sometimes people believe if you are Pep, Jurgen, or you are another [big] name, you have to win all titles every season with 2000 million points and 2000 million goals.
“Sometimes it’s not possible, sometimes because of the opposition, sometimes you cannot do it. Not all the time in any sport has a team won everything every season all of the time.”
