  • Pep Guardiola a master of art and football
    Apr 24 2026

    The debate will go on and on about who the greatest manager in football is with Sir Alex Ferguson ruling Manchester for 26 years and achieving 38 trophies of which includes, 13 Premier Leagues, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups and Two UEFA Champions League among others. He also achieved with Aberdeen, in fact it was his work at Aberdeen that got him noticed, how he broke the dominance of Celtic and Rangers. In a 10 years stay in Scotland Sir Alex Ferguson won 10 trophies of which include 3 Scottish Premiership, 4 Scottish Cups, 1 Scottish League Cup, 1 European Cup and 1 European Super Cup. He built several teams and made out several names for a lof kids, he gave us Cristiano Ronaldo, Beckham, The Neville brothers, Giggs, Scholes, Rooney and Pique

    Pep Guardiola on the other was a child nobody believed could manage or coach a group of people together, when he arrived he wasn't trying to please people or look for attention he was just trying to do a job he was called upon, when he arrived at Barceolna he quickly moved out players he saw would become a problem to him and the club in the future in his fours years stay he achieved everything and dominated football, he stole headlines, he won accolades, he was on everybody's lips. Who is this boy in coaching, a boy that had achieved 2 UEFA Champions League beating the great Sir Alex Ferguson in both finals, he also won 3 LaLiga titles beating Real Madrid all the time for his own personal form, he dominated Spain and Europe in a time when there was the Galacticos, Ferguson, Defensive Mourinho, Champions League winning Ancelloti among many great managers. He left Spain for Germany and he broke records, winning the League with games to spare and so many points, his team also scored many goals in three years he won 3 Bundesliga, 2 German Cups, 1 Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup only missing out on the Champions League three times in the semin final to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

    Now in England, at Manchester City, many years back when Ferguson dominated this League he said City would always just be their noisy neighbours cause City was investing hard but not seeing result, City was trying too hard they were a wanna be big club so bad, but no one thought there would a Pep Guardiola not even Alex Ferguson saw it.

    Pep was predicted to fail in England and at City, they called the League the most difficult they said Stoke, QPR and Everton would cause Pep and his Citizens problems and in his first year he was swallowed, everyone was laughing Pep Guardiola took home nothing, everyone felt justified. Then came his second season the monster came, the monster that keeps creeping up on every team, the monster that gives coaches sleepless nights he has dominated the most difficult league only giving it away twice in his nine years stay and now he has stolen yet again what Arsenal thinks is their birth right about to make it 7 Premier League, he has achieved so much in such a short time winning 6 Premier Leagues, 5 League Cups, Two FA Cup and he gave City the most prestigious award the UEFA Champions League, because of Pep Guardiola Manchester City can always boast of being better than their City rivals United.

    Pep Guardiola has revolutionised football and made all the coaches around the world attempt and play his style, football is now played from the back. A man the world mocked and laughed at is now the one football is shaped by and looks up to. He dominates and is in control, he is the master of Art and football. He gave the world Lionel Messi, he reinvented Fabregas as a False 9 in Barcelona, with Thiago at Bayern and Gabriel Jesus at Manchester City. What would football be with Pep Guardiola?
