Guardiola He is expected to leave Manchester City At the end of the season after 10 years in charge.
It’s on The BBC’s Wayne Rooney ShowThe former Manchester United The forward drew comparisons with his former boss, who he played for between 2004 and 2013.
“I’ve seen a lot of comparisons with Alex Ferguson,” Rooney said.
During his 10 years at City, Guardiola won 17 major trophies and 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles, the Champions League, three FA Cups and five EFL Cups.
Ferguson holds a record 13 Premier League wins.
Rooney added: “I’ve been watching people say how loyal Guardiola has been for 10 years, which is unbelievable. But Alex Ferguson has done 26 years.”
“When you think about that time for 26 years at one football club, it’s amazing.”
Rooney, who served as long as Ferguson – who managed United from November 1986 to May 2013 – spoke of how difficult it was to “maintain the hunger and mentality of the game”.
“It was a completely different situation when Sir Alex took over at United,” Rooney said.
He had to build the club from the ground up to make them a viable force in English football – but I don’t think Pep necessarily has to do that.
But what he did in a manner that was completely and utterly superior… it doesn’t stink at all.
