Pep Guardiola paid a vibrant tribute to Jürgen Klopp and took the opportunity to share a secret about the German coach.
Jürgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool marks the end of an era and one of the greatest rivalries in Premier League history. For eight years, the German and his Manchester City counterpart, Pep Guardiola, engaged in fierce duels for the title of champion of England.
Quite naturally, the Spaniard wanted to pay tribute to his rival, whom he considers to have had a major role in his own success at the head of the Skyblues. The two tacticians faced each other 30 times, the result: 12 victories for Klopp against 11 for Guardiola and 7 draws.
“He helped me on several occasions”
“I will miss him very much, Guardiola first confided at a press conference. Jürgen played a very important role in my life, he took me to another level as a manager, I think we respect each other in a great way. »
“I just want to thank him so much for his kind words. He has helped me many times by leading his team to such high levels. He was a great rival, it’s even more than that, it’s a part of my life.” added the 53-year-old manager, recently crowned champion of England for the fourth time in a row with City.
