Padipadi:
Is Pep Guardiola The GOAT Of Coaches
Manchester City just won their 6th EPL under Joseph Guardiola. But he's not the best of the best. He's no doubt an elite coach of this era and an envy to many. In fact, his records bettered sone of his close rivals and many in his era. But in recent times, his team has always thrived with buying of talents. Football is about talents and talent discovery is one of the best joy giver of a manager. To train a kid from academy to superstar is a legendary feat.
Lionel Messi is a great example, Raul Gonzalez, Paolo Maldini, Ryan Giggs are great players discovered by various gaffers and the joy thry gave as a homeboy player were massive. Francesco Totti, Steven Gerrard, etc are also exceptional players that were home grown and repaid their clubs in full.
People like Almiron, CheapHomes1, PapaBornboy, Anonymous1759 and other bots of Pessi Academy should take note.

Aside Messi & maybe Sergio Busquet to and a few Barca star like Xavier or Iniesta, Pep hasn't groomed any home grown player to world class. His experiment with Bojan Krckik, Pedro and some unlucky Barca academy players under him failed and it almost cost those players their career. At a point when coaching Barca, he bought stars that flopped under him. A notable one is the legendary swedish fine leather striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. How Ibrahimovic didn't spend more than a year at Barca was a surprise to many. Probably cos of Pep's poor man-man mentoring and over bearing attitude to players. No wonder Ibrahimobic called his a coward here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11833/8908314/zlatan-ibrahimovic-blasts-pep-guardiola-for-wrecking-his-time-at-barcelona
What about his treatment to African legends like Samuel Eto'o and Yaya Toure?
Eto'o like Ibrahimovic described Pep as a coward with no balls. https://www.eurosport.com/football/premier-league/2012-2013/etoo-unleashes-scathing-attack-on-guardiola_sto4187543/story.shtml

Kukutente come and see o!

Toure left Barca cos of Pep's poor handling of player - gaffer ego. He ruined Yaya's later years at Manchester City too. A player who would v been an asset to his team to build around with youngsters. Rather, he felt he's not that God to be building teams and ended up splashing millions before he could turn City to a dominant team. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/yaya-toure-hits-out-at-pep-guardiola-following-manchester-city-departure-1.736945%3foutputType=ampq
