TWO PEPS AT CITY

- BY SIMON MULLOCK

PEP GUARDIOLA'S decision to bring in Pep Lijnders as his assistant at Manchester City could be a match made in heaven - or hell.

Lijnders' new boss has a reputation for being a manager who always listens intently to the advice given to him by his backroom staff... before ignoring it completely.

But Lijnders, the Dutchman who was such an important sounding board for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool in a six-year spell that saw the German become the only bulwark between Guardiola and total Premier League domination, is not someone who accepts being ignored.

When the 42-year-old was invited to return as Klopp’s right-hand man in the summer of 2018, just six months after he walked out of Anfield to become head coach of NEC Nijmegen, he insisted he would only accept the offer if he was given more responsibility.
