Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp are regarded as two of the top football coaches in world football right now, yet Everton fan Adam Partingdon - surpsise, surprise - thinks Guardiola is “a million times better” than Klopp. Partingdon launched a broadside at Klopp ahead of the Merseyside Derby, which could see underfire boss Marco Silva given the bullet should the Toffees lose to the Reds, and pulled no punches, despite Klopp winning nearly universal praise for leading Liverpool to their sixth Champions League in 2018/19 season and on the brink of sealing a first league title for 30 years.
He thinks Pep is not only a better manager but also a better person and cites the Spaniard’s handling of Raheem Sterling after the FA Cup final last season as one prime example why. Guardiola was captured having an animated discussion with Sterling, trying to improve the Englishman, despite having won the FA Cup just seconds earlier after Man City’s 6-0 thumping of Watford in the final.
Is it sour grapes from a bitter Evertonian or does he have a point?
Who would you rather have managing your club – Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp?
