Ilkay Gundogan in no doubt over comparisons between Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has hailed Pep Guardiola as the best manager in the history of football.

Gundogan, 31, the German international who spent four years working under Jurgen Klopp at Dortmund, reckons Guardiola has no equal when it comes to bringing the best out of players. He feels the Catalan isn’t just the king of current coaches - but the best there has ever been after winning 10 titles in just 13 seasons as a manager.

“In terms of qualities, I have never seen anyone better than him (Guardiola)," he said. "I probably won’t see anyone better than him. I just feel privileged to be able to work with him right now for the sixth year, to still learn from him, to be valued and appreciated by him.
