Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has showered praises on Chelsea  boss Thomas Tuchel as one of the few managers he constantly learns from.

Guardiola briefed media personnel for the first time since he contracted COVID-19 ahead of the Swindon Town FA Cup  clash which his assistant Rodolfo Borrell lead his team to thrash The League two side.

He’s so creative,” Guardiola told the press. “One of the few managers I learn constantly from to develop as a better manager.

“[He is] excellent in all departments. I enjoyed him since he was in Mainz. I enjoy watching his teams and the way he’s playing and the approach. He makes world football better.

“When you find a manager who always wants to be positive in the way they play, it’s good.”
