BREAKING🚨🩵: Gary Neville on Pep Guardiola legacy at Manchester City
“Listen, I’ve sat here for years defending Sir Alex Ferguson and rightly so because what he did at Manchester United was unbelievable but after watching Manchester City lift the FA Cup again today, I think we’ve got to be honest about what we’re witnessing with Pep Guardiola.
This isn’t normal anymore. It’s beyond dominance.
Every single season people say City will slow down, people say the hunger will disappear, people say another team will catch them… and yet Pep keeps evolving, keeps rebuilding, keeps winning. Different players, different systems, same outcome: trophies.
Look at today’s final, the control, the mentality, the confidence. They don’t even panic in big moments anymore. That comes directly from the manager.
I’m telling you now, I genuinely think Pep Guardiola has surpassed Sir Alex Ferguson in terms of coaching level and football quality. I never thought I’d say that publicly, but what he’s done at Manchester City is outrageous.
Sir Alex built dynasties over decades, absolutely. But Pep has completely changed English football. He’s raised the tactical standard of the Premier League to a level we’ve never seen before.
And with another FA Cup now added to everything else he’s won at City… honestly, the argument is becoming impossible to ignore.
We are watching the greatest Premier League manager ever.”
Manchester City have played at Wembley every season for the last 15 seasons in a row, totalling 31 times. 🤯
