Txiki Begiristain said the key to his partnership with Pep Guardiola was to realise that the Manchester City manager has to be seen as “the leader in the building” and “the guy”.
Begiristain, who worked with his former teammate at first Barcelona and then City before leaving the Etihad Stadium this summer, claimed other managers can create the best team in the world but only Guardiola can play the best football.
