‘He’s my role model’ – PSG coach, Luis Enrique names best manager of all-time

Paris Saint‑Germain manager Luis Enrique has declared Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola the best manager of all time.

Enrique made the statement in a recent interview with Movistar Plus, reacting to Guardiola’s announced departure from City at the end of the season.

He described the fellow Spaniard as a role model, saying he cannot fathom the former Bayern Munich coach leaving the club.

“I don’t believe Pep Guardiola is leaving. I don’t believe it and I don’t want to believe it, because I would like him to stay for many more years,” Enrique said.

“When I was the national team coach, he used to ask me about the job. He has always had that desire to coach a national team. I don’t think he will take over Italy, but you can’t rule it out either.”

“I would like to see Pep at the highest level for many years because he is a role model for me, he is the best manager of all time.”
