Pep Guardiola agrees with Sam Allardyce 's claim that no one is ahead of him "in football terms," name-checking Neil Warnock as another veteran boss who deserves more respect.
Shortly after being confirmed as Leeds' new manager, tasked with four games to keep the Yorkshire side in the Premier League, Allardyce made headlines as he declard: "Far too many people think I am old and antiquated, which is so far from the truth," the short-lived former England boss began during a press conference on Wednesday.
"I may be 68 and look old but there's nobody ahead of me in football terms, not Pep, not [Jurgen] Klopp, not [Mikel] Arteta, so it's all there with me. I share what they do and I do what I do but in terms of knowledge and depth of knowledge, I'm up there with them – I'm not saying I'm better than them – but certainly as good as they are."
