Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan: There is no coach like Pep Guardiola

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has said the club's coach Pep Guardiola is unlike any other.

Gundogan, who is likely to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury, told Sport Bild that Guardiola has "enormous charisma."

The Germany international also said his former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp was someone who "can fascinate people."

The City summer signing, the first player brought in by Guardiola, added: "Both are world-class coaches with their own qualities and both are passionate, even if it's in different ways.

"Pep thinks about every different situation and has solutions for them. There is no coach like him.

"He has great charisma. Everybody who knows him sees that his football was always dominant and he had success every time."

Gundogan said Klopp "has an enormous spectrum of things he is able to do," adding: "He can fascinate people, make them laugh -- you become a fan of him very quickly."
