Surrounded by legends and led by the GOAT—Pep’s influence is unmatched."</p><p>@_savinha_ commented: "Warnock saw most Fergie’s matches and still went for Pep as the GOAT. He knows ball."</p><p>@Swanny289 put: "I hoped they enjoyed it by being disciplined," and @FITRADER8 added: "Greatest Premier League manager of all time and Greatest Championship manager ever."</p><p></p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Guardiola will undoubtedly go down as one of the best managers of all time, partly for the success he has had at Barcelona, City, and Bayern Munich, but also for how many coaches have been influenced by his style and tactics. He will certainly be a very hard act to follow at City. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Guardiola's City are next in Premier League action on Friday night at home to in-form Wolves. </p>
