The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belarus-c2849 international has voiced his opinion regarding the former La Blaugrana head coach, claiming that he is not among the best managers in the world.
BATE Borisov midfielder, Alexander Hleb, has expressed that there is no reason to be impressed by former Barcelona trainer, Pep Guardiola.
According to the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 player, Guardiola had the best players in his side and he himself made no contribution in bringing success to the Nou Camp.
Guardiola’s reign over the Catalan capital is believed to be one of the most successful periods in the history of the Azulgrana. The Spaniard took over the reigns of the team after Frank Rijkaard was relieved of his duties in 2008.
Although he was sort after as a replacement for an experienced manager, Guardiola was able to make his mark over the Camp Nou outfit.
As soon as he became head of affairs at the Spanish giants, the Catalan mentor was able to lead the side to great success.
His first season at the helm of affairs saw Barca claim success in six competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, the Spanish La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
Nevertheless, such a feat has never been achieved in the history of the club before.
Guardiola remained as the manager of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 for a total of 4 seasons and all of these seasons saw the Catalan giants become a destructive powerhouse all over Europe.
During his time, the Spanish giants were able to secure 2 UEFA Champions League trophies, 3 Spanish La Liga titles and 2 Copa del Rey triumphs.
However, Hleb has refused to give any credit to the manager and has stressed that his success was only due to the players he had at his disposal.
He added that he is more impressed by managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho.
"He coached the best team in the world, with the best players, and that's why he won. I learned more from [Arsene] Wenger than Guardiola, but Pep is a good coach. The best coaches in the world are [Jose] Mourinho, [Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752] Ferguson and [Arsene] Wenger,”
the footballer told reporters.
