Pep Guardiola is arguably the greatest manager in world football, the Spaniard having transformed Manchester City into a dominant Premier League side since taking over in 2016.
The Spaniard's story with the club started far earlier, though, 11 years prior to taking over as manager, in fact. In 2005, aged 34 and coming to the end of his playing career, Guardiola was offered a trial at the club by then-City manager Stuart Pearce.
