#5 Relationships with players and focus on youth

Current City squad boasts of talented youngsters
The current Manchester City squad boasts of young, world-class talent

One need not look any further than the current Manchester City squad to get an insight into the focus Guardiola puts on his young guns. Ever since he took over at the Etihad outfit, Pep has brought in talented youngsters such as Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sane, John Stones and Kyle Walker.

It doesn’t just end here. The City franchise has made healthy investments to buy out La Liga outfit Girona as a second-fiddle club to Manchester City, so as to facilitate the smooth transition of young players between Spain and England, either on loans or on permanent contracts.

It's evident that Pep regards young talent very highly and believes in instilling his footballing philosophies into them at a very young age; so that they learn not just for success in one or two seasons, but rather to perform in a way to inspire generations to come.

Pep is not just a manager on the field, but off of it too.
