Man City boss Guardiola snubs Mourinho, Ancelotti, names best ever manager

Pep Guardiola has settled the GOAT manager debate, overlooking several legendary managers like Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, and Carlo Ancelotti

The Manchester City manager is regarded by many as the best manager in history but he believes that title should be reserved for Sir Alex Ferguson.

"In this country and worldwide, Sir Alex Ferguson is the best," Guardiola stated.

"Being close to one of the most important managers of all time is an incredible honour for me..."

Ferguson's impressive résumé includes 13 Premier League titles, a record that remains unmatched.

Guardiola, with six titles, sits second on the list. Wenger and Mourinho trail behind with three apiece.

Guardiola's admiration for Ferguson is no surprise, given the Scot's remarkable 27-year tenure at Manchester United. Under Ferguson's leadership, United dominated English football, claiming two Champions League titles, 13 Premier League crowns, and numerous domestic cups.

Ferguson's legacy extends beyond his on-field success. He played a pivotal role in shaping Manchester United into the global powerhouse it is today.
