It's the topic of the moment in England and Portugal and, for that reason, Pep Guardiola couldn't escape it. During the pre-match press conference for Manchester City's next game, the Spanish coach spoke to Rúben Amorim, who could very well become his new rival in the Premier League, taking the opportunity to give him some praise.
"Look at the season he is having, he is undefeated, he has won every game in the Portuguese league and in the Champions League he has the same points as us. So he is a great coach, I have the feeling that if Manchester United, from what I hear, are thinking about him, so it's because he's a good manager.
Asked if the fact that Amorim is only 39 years old, Guardiola replied that "knowledge is knowledge" and that if there is competence, then "age doesn't matter".
It is worth remembering that Rúben Amorim and Pep Guardiola faced each other on two occasions, in 2022. On that occasion, in Champions League games, Sport lost the first duel at home, 0-5, and then drew goalless at the Etihad Stadium.
