'Guardiola is football crazy in a good way' - Robben relished Bayern spell with 'brilliant' boss

The Dutch winger, who is departing the Allianz Arena this summer, enjoyed his time working with a coach now thriving in England at Manchester City

Arjen Robben considers Pep Guardiola to be “tactically brilliant”, with Manchester City’s treble-winning coach having shown during a spell at Bayern Munich that he is “football crazy in a positive way”.

After taking the decision to leave Barcelona, a Catalan coach opted to make the Allianz Arena his next port of call in 2013.

Guardiola oversaw three Bundesliga title triumphs, two DFB-Pokal successes and a Club World Cup win during his time in Germany.
