Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola burst out laughing when he met Sam Allardyce for the first time after his press conference where he claimed he was just as good as the Catalan coach, according to a member of the then Leeds United coaching team.
Allardyce took charge of Leeds at the beginning of May with the Yorkshire club seemingly doomed for relegation. The former Bolton Wanderers boss' first game in charge was a trip to the Etihad Stadium to face the Treble chasing Blues.
In one of his first press conferences, Allardyce decided to make the outlandish claim there was nobody ahead of him in football terms, including Guardiola.
