Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano has heaped praise on Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, labelling him a ‘fantastic coach’.
Guardiola is one of the most revered coaches in the game, having enjoyed success at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now with the Etihad based club.
It is his time at Barcelona which is most fondly remembered, with him developing a team and style of play that was widely lauded.
Indeed, his Barça team is considered by many to be among the best, if not the greatest in the history of the game.
Wherever the Catalan goes, he insists on his team playing his particular brand of football and Cassano says it his ability to do that which is his biggest strength.
“He is a fantastic coach,” he said in an interview with journalist Pierluigi Pardo, relayed by Redgol.
“His great strength is being able to convince the team’s players to play his style. He is the only one in the world who has that charisma.”
