Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest comments made by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
This comes after Liverpool fan account @TheAnfieldWrap shared a post on their Twitter page that included a video clip originally shared by @SkySportsPL of a recent interview with Guardiola.
The clip shows the City manager insisting that he is not the best manager in the world, despite being one of the most successful managers in world football.
Who is the better manager?
Pep Guardiola
Jurgen Klopp
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were impressed with Guardiola’s latest admission.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans reacting to Guardiola’s comments:
"You're the best coach in the world."

Very interesting and humble remarks. Certainly a class act.

He’s actually speaking the hard truth. A bit of sarcasm and trying to funny but deep down he knows the truth is that without the blank cheque and incredible players like at City, Barcelona and Bayern he’ll certainly not have achieved what he has so far.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has been been in charge of the Manchester club since 2016. Since then, he has gone on to win seven trophies at the club. This season, however, his team are currently 22 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League table. Now that this clip has emerged of Pep claiming he never thought of himself as the best manager in the world, this has led to numerous Liverpool fans replying with their thoughts on the 49-year-old.
Thought he was very honest.
I mean who really is the best coach in the world, it’s a continually moving target.

“I was…” (now I’m not I’m not sure what that means). Mind blown.

if not the fact that pep wins its the way his teams win! top players obviously help you to win games but the way his team dominates and controls matches is down to pep!

What do we think?
It’s nice to see the Liverpool fans praising Guardiola for his honesty. Despite his team falling well behind Liverpool in the Premier League table this season, his past achievements are still worthy of recognition and applause.
