Even though many hold the believe that a useful player doesn’t make a successful coach, many players are beginning to prove this theory wrong with likes of Zidane and among them is the premier league man of the moment Pep Guardiola. The ex Barcelona play maker and Spain international has proven his worth across European major leagues over the years by dominating and winning trophies wherever he goes. He was on gibed by Mourinho that he coaches clubs that his grandfather can comfortably win trophies with when he was at Bayern. This must have challenge Guardiola to prove to the world by seeking a place in the much talked about English premier league.

Having dominated Spain with Barcelona using the tiki taka playing style, winning 14 trophies across different competition to make him the most successful Barcelona coach of all time. Pep later moved to German Bundesliga to get a fresh air of different league culture, people and city but was unable to make the Munich club a European king despite winning three domestic tittles.

Pep is known to spend chunk of money in getting players that can fit to his football philosophy. Over his two years period in Manchester city, Guardiola has spent over $300 million on players which has lifted him the premier league.

The only challenge facing the gallant manager to prove his worth which football fans are waiting to see is his ability to make Manchester City dominating force in Europe. You will agree with me that Manchester city have not proven their place in UEFA despite huge spending over the years and this must be one thing that boarders Pep more. He had lifted the premier league title after spending a year to reposition the team to his philosophy, one will say Pep has no excuse to give why City will not player in the finals of the UEFA champions league by May next year.

It is quite unfortunate that other big four teams are being seen as the dark horse to the title only if Manchester City decides to lose it. Currently unbeaten, there is no sight in place that Guardiola boys are ready to lose to any team at the moment but if this form is going to last throughout the season as we saw with Arsenal invincible team is still a point of debate to many football pundits.

Whether Guardiola wins all the Epl in his time, his true measure lies in his ability of making Manchester City a force in Europe in the next few years. That may as well be his only option to league the Manchester club for a new challenge.
