'The best': Man City's Ilkay Gundogan makes Pep Guardiola admission as he relives his career

Ilkay Gunodgan claims he would "be crazy" not to consider a career in football management after his time spent under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

After spending five years at Borussia Dortmund, Gundogan made the switch from Germany to England in 2016 to join Manchester City. Since his move to the Etihad, the German has made nearly 300 appearances for City, becoming a cult hero and scoring the goal that ultimately won City the Premier League title in 2022.

In his seven years under Guardiola's guidance, Gundogan has played every role in midfield from the deep playmaker to the second striker, particularly in the 2020/21 season where he notched 13 goals in the Premier League. And, in a recent video with Goal, the 32-year-old used football simulation game Football Manager 2023 to discuss his career so far, and what to expect in the future.
