Pep Guardiola names Lionel Messi the ‘greatest of all time’

Pep Guardiola has named his ‘greatest of all time’ recently - while the Manchester City boss acknowledged the likes of Pele and Diego Maradona, he could not look past Lionel Messi.

Speaking in an interview on Che Tempo, Che Fa in Italy, Guardiola said: “For me it’s easy to say [Messi is] the best of all time, but the stars came together at the right moment.

“The GOAT? Maybe that’s a lack of respect to Pele and [Diego] Maradona, but for me, he is. I’ve never seen someone like him as a coach, you can’t imagine him maintaining this continuity for 15-20 years. When you see him up close, you think of Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, we were lucky to work with him.”
