Guardilla admits to being inspired by Tuchel: One of the few trainers from whom I constantly teach

Before the match between Manchester City and Chelsea on Saturday, the coach of the citizens praised the coach of the Blues, Thomas Touchel.

Guardilla appeared before the media for the first time since she was contracted to COVID-19 prior to their FA Cup victory over Swindon Town.

The Spanish was replaced by manager's assistant Rodolfo Borrell on the contact line for that game when their strong team removed the Second League team.

“He is very creative”, Guardiola told the press. “One of the few managers from whom I constantly learn to develop as a better manager.

“ [He's] brilliant in all departments. I liked it when he was in Mainz. I like to see his teams and the way he plays and the approach. He makes world football better. When you find a manager who always wants to be positive in the way he plays, it's good”, he said.
