Unai Emery has made a bold claim about Pep Guardiola ahead of Manchester City clash

Unai Emery's Arsenal is preparing to play against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City away at Etihad on Sunday. Ahead of the game, Unai Emery has spoke about Pep Guardiola. The Basque and the Catalan were both born in 1971, and their parallel careers saw them take charge of top European sides before arriving in England. The former Valencia and Sevilla coach has still never beaten the ex-Barcelona boss, after Guardiola’s reign in Spain continued as City beat the Gunners 2-0 in the opening match of this Premier League season. (via Mirror) “I have analysed a lot of teams and coaches and I think it’s difficult to find one coach who is better than Guardiola," said Emery “His career is a very big career. We started together. He started with the Barcelona second team, I started with Lorca and Almeria [In Spain's third and second tiers]. “I learned a lot looking at his team — it’s good to look at each other when we are coaches to learn different things between us. I think in his career he's doing the best in all the coaches in the world. “He has had the possibility to take the best players at Barcelona, in Bayern and in City, little by little. He is, every year, improving with great players and also paying a lot for some players. But he led them, at Barcelona, Bayern and City, one step more every place."
