PEP GUARDIOLA is as hungry and passionate as ever, according to his assistant manager Kolo Toure.

‘The Manchester City boss is in his 10th season at the Etihad Stadium and eyeing yet more glory.

Guardiola failed to add a major trophy to his vast haul last season as City suffered a dip in form but they are back in contention this term.

Toure joined Guardiola’s backroom staff in the summer and has been hugely impressed by his determination and enthusiasm.

‘The former City defender said: “The manager’s energy every day is incredible.

“I'm so surprised, with all the years that he’s done in the league. The passion he brings to every meeting, the training sessions - he’s enjoying himself every day and we are enjoying it as well.
