Messi designates the best coach in the world, it's not Galtier

Manchester City have finally arrived on the roof of Europe after their 1-0 success in the Champions League final against Inter Milan. The long-awaited triumph for Pep Guardiola, enough to place him in the rank of number 1 coaches. Lionel Messi thinks so anyway.

The style of play without the titles is a bit of the reproach made to Pep Guardiola since his arrival at Manchester City in 2016. A false statement given the Spaniard’s Mancunian record: 5 Premier League, 2 English cups , 4 English League Cups. Guardiola has filled the Citizens trophy cabinet well for 7 years. However, the essential for such an economically strong club was missing: the Champions League. City had been missing the boat for several years, sometimes in a very surprising way with eliminations against Tottenham and OL in particular. Some of Guardiola’s tactical innovations in these hot moments were not appreciated.

Guardiola, number 1 for Messi

Some critics of the coach highlighted the fact that he had never won the C1 elsewhere than at Barça, the great Barça led by Messi from 2009 to 2012. Fortunately for him, his 12-year drought without a title European champion has passed since Saturday evening. Manchester City edged Inter 1-0 after a solid European campaign. A first Champions League for City, a third for Guardiola. Enough to silence those who described him as an overrated coach.

With this success, Guardiola clearly positions himself as a candidate for the title of best coach in the world. In this regard, he received the support of his favorite player Lionel Messi. For La Pulga, Guardiola is undoubtedly above the competition and Saturday’s title proves it a little more. ” I am still in contact with Guardiola. Winning the Champions League this time shows he is the best manager in the world, he deserved to win the Champions League Messi told Chinese media TTPlus. The last proof if necessary that, if the great players are important to win, the contribution of Pep Guardiola is just as essential.
