Former Man United and Bayern Munich star, Bastian Schweinsteiger, has suggested that Pep Guardiola’s arrival in the Bundesliga changed the face of German football as we knew it.
Ever since Guardiola first came into management at the elite level with Barcelona in 2008 he’s been a winner.
Indeed, it’s not unfair to suggest that he has completely changed the footballing landscape in the three leagues that he’s managed in so far: La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League.

“There was a lot of change when Pep came!”
