Jurgen Klopp believes Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world

Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp named Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as the best manager in the world. He acknowledged that City are facing 115 charges of financial irregularity, adding he did not know the details but stated that no other manager could've achieved what the Spaniard did at the club.

Manchester City claimed the Premier League title on Sunday for the fourth consecutive season with Guardiola as their head coach. The Premier League has charged the Cityzens with 115 counts of financial breaches, which is still being investigated.

Klopp, who has had numerous titanic battles with Guardiola in recent years, hailed the Spaniard in a recent interview, saying (via City Xtra):

"Everybody knows about the 115 charges [at #ManCity), but I have no clue what that means. I only know the number. No matter what has transpired at @ManCity, Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world - and that is truly significant..."

The German manager added:

"Put any other manager in #ManCity, they don't win the #PL four times in a row. That's down to him [Pep Guardiola) and his teain Does that mean they can do whatever they want? No. But I don't know what they did - if anything - and I'm not here to say they have..."

"We'll see. Of course, I'd like to know [if #ManCity are guilty] one day. Everyone wants to know. But I'll be somewhere else. The quality of Pep makes the difference so I don't worry about these things. It's not my problem," Klopp concluded.

Since joining the club in 2016, Pep Guardiola has led Manchester City to six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups, and two FA Community Shields. The Spaniard has also bagged the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, the 2023 UEFA Super Cup, and the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup.
