Boro Kuzmanovic, the coach who gave Manuel Kanji his professional debut, has spoke of his pride in seeing his former player perform to peak levels on the biggest stage for Manchester City.
The defender has been a rock at the back for the Blues since his unexpected £15m deadline day switch from Borussia Dortmund. The 27-year-old was bought to aid in covering the club’s centre-half injury woes but has so far played every game he’s been available for.
In fact, he’s played every minute since missing the 3-0 win over Wolves due to the birth of his second child. As a result of his top tier displays, he has become one of the first names on Guardiola’s teamsheet in recent matches.
