COMMENT BY JOHN CROSS
-
PEP GUARDIOLA is driven by glory, trophies and legacy.
As he prepares for another derby day tomorrow, in my eyes, the Manchester City manager is the greatest of the Premier League era.
His success, his style of football and remarkable haul of silverware is the reason why he deserves to edge out Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger and even Sir Alex Ferguson.
Four titles in a row, winning the Champions League, dominance of English football, groundbreaking tactics and incredible style of football.
