The 7 top technicians, who have direct influence from Pep Guardiola

There is no doubt that Pep Guardiola marked a before and after in the way of playing football. His well-marked possession is characteristic of the teams he plays for, and it is easy to distinguish what the teams in which the Spaniard is a coach are like. As a result of this, several coaches who are world-class today have largely adopted his game system.

We start with Xavi Hernández, who learned everything from Pep Guardiola during the 2008-2012 season when he coached him at FC Barcelona. At that time it was said that Xavi was a coach on the pitch, he was also one of Pep Guardiola's most trusted men and as a result there was one of the most glorious eras of the Catalan team.

Second, Xabi Alonso, the also Spanish coach who today shines at Bayer Leverkusen, was Guardiola's player in the 2014-2016 season, here he was able to learn the basic concepts from Pep; In third place is Vincent Company, who was a Manchester City player in the 2016–2019 seasons, enough time to get to know the Spanish coach's playing style.

The aforementioned received influence as coaches, now, there were also technicians who were influenced as Pep's assistants. Mikel Arteta, a coach Guardiola recently faced in the Premier League, Mikel was Guardiola's assistant from the 2016 to 2019 seasons. This time helped Arteta become one of the best coaches in the world, and today he directs power to power with Guardiola.

Finally, there were technicians who were influenced because they directed the training of the teams where Guardiola was. For example, Luis Enrique led the FC Barcelona reserves in the 2008–2011 seasons: Erik ten Hag was in the Bayern Munich reserves in the 2013–2015 seasons; and Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca was in Manchester City's reserves in the 2020 to 2023 seasons.
