“Control what you can control.” I love his mentality and how he goes about different/difficult situations. What he said can be true about everyday life as well. Don’t stress about things you cannot control.

Pep does always get the backing but his football philosophy and tactical innovations mark him as one of the greats. He dines at the top table.

this man has done so much for city, always striving to be the best, wishing him a great future.

City fans and EPL fans should appreciate this man while you have him. You will never see another team play like his and dominate.

Even being a true Madrid fan, you can't hate the guy. The clarity of thought he has about the way he envisions the game is truly remarkable. Nothing but respect for this great manager 🙌

All the hate this man gets its unbelievable .. Yet the numbers speak for themselfs. The fact that all city their rivals are waiting for the day he leaves yet they are the ones doubting his ability . Never sacked . Wanted by every big club the moment he is available time and time again, He doesnt only bring succes he brings a playing style ,hard work and dedication . Yes he will only come if he is assured he will get the resources he demands because otherwise u get a situation like Ten Hag and UTD . What he demands is the best and therefore u need to go and get it which he makes sure will be possible if he moves

Absolute genius. A scholar of the game. Look at what artetas doing after a couple years just being around this guy, even what ten hag achieved at Ajax. The hate is from jealous ppl, when you're a city fan I assume they genuinely believe no one can beat them and that's what we all want ain't it.

When it comes to Klopp, Pep be like "I don't care about rivalry, he's my best buddy"

Pep is so genuine... Maybe that's why some people think he is too harsh...he doesn't change his personality for the cameras

An absolute joy to have a manager like him and Klopp. Both managers have put the standards higher than ever before in English football. The impact of Pep wherever he goes in the league and rest of football clubs speaks for itself. One of the greatest of all time certainly and the best for the last 15 years

I think in terms of the best number 9 he's ever had that fit his type of system perfectly, I think it was David Villa in that elite Barca team he had. Probably the best club team I have ever seen in terms of dominating teams.

For some reason I love Pep, he's such a good manager that plays a different game compared to some other managers.

He is student of the game and tries to make the whole team better because that when you recieve the best results. Others sometimes focus on 1 o r 3 players and leave other a bit a stray. Like in Barcelona where for time it was only about Messi and building a team around Messi and after he left the whole building crumbled.

You can improve skills, fitness, strength and game intelligence but not character. Pep is 100% right...character is paramount.

I think Pep is all time the greatest manager in the world. I enjoy him where ever he manages. Incredible person.

He has done it not just for barca or city . But for football as a game

He talks so much sense, personality is important to a player, you can't have someone who is going to poison the dressing room and if they want to go, they will go, don't force them to stay.

Pep is really an interesting being.. He just can't sit in a place ideal.. Always moving, always thinking and always observing. That's why he's one of the best coaches you can see in this century.

Fascinating stuff-what is very evident about Pep is his absolute clarity on everything-a truly exceptional man-

Greatest of All Times no debate!

nice to watch this interview after the Newcastle game and seeing so much of what he talks about .. juss 🐐 things

He literally explain why Man Utd is struggling in this moment of time

I could care less about Man City, but Pep's teams play the prettiest and most aesthetically pleasing style of football I've ever seen. If you love football, it's impossible not to love how his teams play.

I have never seen a coach like Pep in my life

Now I see where arteta got that mentality from.

He wants elite mentality first even if the player is a generational talent. That's shows how strong his ethics are.

Every country Pep has been at. He has elevated the quality of that countries national team players. The Spanish and German teams won world cups because he had a handful of the starting players.

Considering his unusual character at times and his passion, it’s commendable that he has never lost the dressing room once. And he never will. I don’t think Man City will be as good when he leaves…….hopefully, but like him in the PL all the same. 👍

Enjoyed this interview!

City has a play style different from any other teams in premier league. Its very hard to outplay them especially in ball control and offense. And pep Is responsible for it. The guy is definitely a hall of fame goat class type of coach.

Kids this is the greatest manager of all time,everyone knew they didn't know as much as they thought they did when he became a manager,the word "genius " gets thrown around loosely but this guy is the definition of a genius,he's too good for his own good,he is crazy but in a good way.

They always say this guy needs money to be the best, but I see other manager spent a lot and achieve nothing. This man knows exactly what kind of game he plays,and what player will fit to it. After great SAF this guy is the best

I dont care about the skills...what matters is what type of person you are...🔥

Nice guy and great manager.

Her voice is so calm and reassuring...Pep is a top manager

We've got Guardiola 🙌💙

What a privilege having Pep coaching here in England.

The humbleness if pep is so impressive. But at the same time he demands so much from his players and push them to their limits. Great manager and human being

Some criticize him only not winning champions league with club except Barcelona.. sometimes misses respective league also...but never sacked... because his attitude, philosophy, dedication,approch,love,enjoy for the work...yet they compares with other coaches....He is one and only... Exceptional 💙

Always a pleasure to listen to this guy !

This year the league will be so much different and i like it!!!!

This man is way ahead of his time I always find it funny when people compare him to other manager,klopp is the 2nd best but no way near this guy his football brain is on another level

Indeed ! What he said about the character is spot on. We all work and imagine working in a place where someone you've to build chemistry is just crap.

Not city fan but huge respect for this man Not necessary to win everything

one thing stands out he doesn't complain about other external things or the circumstances like klopp and most managers do and its really good ..keeps the game cleaner .. manager complain makes the game much much worse and feels unfair to everyone ..

Pep is most hardworking manager i can saying history he is genius in managing players with his tactics

"Control what you can control"💯

I am a Liverpool fan, Pep is an amazing manager, Klopp is an amazing manager, both can be truths. What I like most about him are his ethics and world view, he is a man who believes in the social contract and helping people if you are the privileged, Klopp is the same, some may call them socialists, the tradition of my club, especially from time of Shankly, is one of supporting the working class and this ethos is consistent with a person with good values.

2:03 When your boss tells you a story about their life and you don’t care, but you want a pay rise

This man deserves all the credit

Great relaxed interview. Bravo to both of them.x

The fact that he says that he values character more than skills shows where manchester city are in the prem, while we have squad leakers in man utd.

Would love to see Pep in Serie A with AC Milan.

pep is one of the greatest to ever do it, i think only wenger and SAF can be considered better because of how long they did what they did and mourinio can get a shout too for being great however i really do consider pep on another lvl to all three, even my boy Wenger as an arsenal fan. if he stayed at city for another 10 years (he simply wont) then i think that'd cement him at the top no debate. either way every name i mentioned is a great and should all be respected, pep is also imo overly hated which i just don't understand. true legend and its great to witness, must be even better fir man city fans.

GOAT

that spaghetti analogy killed me😭😂😂😂

Harland is a monster. It helps having great players around you but he has pace, skill, strength and looks a natural goal scorer. Given the game time he will score over 20 premier league goals in his first season IMO

Thank you for evolving football. Real footballers know what you mean to this game pep. You made football an artwork, possession with purpose.

Quality guy

Thank you Pep for every thing you've done for M.C.F.C.I hope you stay for another 10 years.💙😁😇👍👊🖖🥃🥃

No doubt Arteta did the same at Arsenal . Got all the bad apples out of team . Kicked them out even for free or cheap if he had to .

Love the thumbnail lol classic Pep...

This man created a very attractive and competitive standard of modern football. No wonder the people who work with him have such excellent qualities. Can't wait for enzo maresca to make a change in leicester this season.

Haters can say what they want but Pep has shown he is the best coach in the past 15 years, hands down!

In 5 years he will have won enough titles that people will feel safe saying he is in fact the GOAT manager

What a guy...

This guy, Pep, is at the top of coaching. The hate he gets shows how great he is. Always remember, people don't fight down rubbish. They always fight the good things

I'm an Arsenal fan, so it's probably in my best interest if he leaves City, but I really don't want him to. The League as a whole will be worse off without his presence, his mind, and his team. You can't not love and respect the guy.

I just want to point some things out to those small section of Liverpool fans that believed in their heart that Klopp is a better manager than Pep. Your point is always that Pep can not do what Klopp did at Liverpool and Dortmund. Let me start by saying Klopp is a great guy and also good at what he does. But to compare him to Pep is like comparing Tuchel to Mourinho or Arsene Wenger. Pep started with Barcelona B team that has just relegated to third tier of football with players like Busquet, Tiago, tello, Raphinha (Thiago's brother) and that same year he got them promoted to 2nd tier playing beautiful football and scoring goals. It was this eye catching football that Laporte (the then president) saw that made him abandoned his plan to sign Mourinho who has been interviewed for the job and his assignment was to resurrect Barca first team who were in crisis then. They have not won the league in 2-3years and they are having issues on and off the pitch which was showing the danger ahead. The way Barca B team played and won most games scoring loads of goals was what trigger Joan Laporte to pull the trigger and go for Pep instead of Mourinho. Nobody at that time thought it was a right decision except Joan Laporte only in Barcelona and Spain. There were talks already that Xavi will be sold, Millan along other clubs are already lobbying for Messi who was just raw talent then (so also his Rashford/Mbappe)and Iniesta too likely to go but instead he sold Ronaldinho and Deco due to their lifestyle then promoted about seven players from the academy Barca B team which include Busquet, Pedro, Thiago etc into first team. Also bought back Pique who couldn't even make match day squad at Manchester United in most cases to replace Marquez and so on. He didn't win his first two games and he was beaten by Hercules or so. Then the team got the grip of what he wanted from them and boom... the club won all six trophies. He didn't have it easy as many of you always claimed but he was a genius to make it look easy. And for some of you that believed that it was messi, infact messi was luck to have him at the time. Messi could have ended up like Newmar, Mbappe or Rashford (these are all good players at their early stages) but what made messi grow and achieved so much was Pep in the early stages of his career. So tell me what Klopp has done that u think this Pep has not done, but many things Pep has invented into football that Klopp even had to copy it to have success.

The greatest for me

May as well watch this while we wait for the Leeds game to be uploaded.

He’s just broken down United’s problems!

he is the best Coach around the world

“Scouting department are not stupid, they show me good player. I care about the person “ FACTS

THE 🐐

Tell that to Manchester united, we need players with good attitude, well said pep.

"He has money" man united CBs costed 150m. And how that worked out for them ? It's not just money

Pep looks at mentality and it shows. Football is a team game where a lot is mental. If you have players whom are good at doing their job, remaining disciplined and willing to cover your teammate as a last resort and confident you will become very dangerous under Pep's guidance. Pep don't deal well with players with huge egos with highly individualistic mentalities because they cherish looking good above the overall effectiveness of the team. This could be in terms of a lack of tracking back, covering and making teammates work harder than they need to.

I really like this guy because he is so realistic. There is no point of you mourning when your players get injuries,or when the referee made wrong decisions,fixtures and this one world cup thing. It doesnt help,you just adjust

Arteta clearly learned from him...its all about the person first. Thats why I cant see grealish staying at city to long. I think he is too flamboyant for Pep and not producing. Pep is amazing!!

The title shows the exact reason city sold sterling🤣

I 100% agree. I suck at joggling the ball and doing fancy tricks. But when it comes down to ball controlling, dribbling, field positioning, shot/pass accuracy, visuals, awareness lol etc. Call me old fashion 😂 but i can make the game so much easier for you for my team per say. FYI I play RW and RM. I've had players confused lol they say I can't joggle assuming that I suck, but when I get on that field it's a total different story.

One of the best things about pep is he doesn’t use setbacks as an excuse, he uses them as it is what it is let’s adjust

Contrary to popular belief, managing different top teams and getting them to win league titles every other season *consistently* is more difficult than taking a league 1 team to the top. Imagine you're driving a Formula One car and having to change a vehicle and all its configurations every 3-5 years, and still win it.

Did he miss Aguero & Ibra?

i am a RM fan but pep is admittedly impressive

One of the best Manager in the sport today

Ten Hag needs to learn a bit about kicking players out or he will never reach Pep's shadow

I really respect his opinion on the World cup. I think all the managers who complain have a really European-centric mentality; spoiled, self centered and think their way is the best. The World cup in Qatar has a lot of controversy, but it's similar to the corruption involved in other World cup bids. It's good that the World cup is being played in a different part of the World such as Qatar.

Control what you can control simple 💪

"Really Wow!!"

In a few words, Pep would never sign Mbappe, Ronaldo or Neymar, even on a free

Deserves criticism for not winning CL with Bayern and City

"Incredible" Who knows Peps favorite word

I'm happy. So happy. I am so so happy.

Epl will miss pep

He didn't mention Zlatan

Biggest quality I learned from Pep is NOT to complain about circumstances all the time Interviewer : " Are you concerned about winter world cup". PEP : "Not a bit. Control what you can control "

Greatest manager of all time

Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. TEN HAG'S (Ole 4.0) at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. MAN UNITED ARE BACK!!!!
