Manchester City are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table with six wins from their first seven league games under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has shown he is more than capable of adapting his side to suit the pace and aggression of the English game by making a fast start to life in the Premier League.
However the 45-year-old tactician should not take all the credit as he has a trusted support network helping him to record 10 wins out of a possible 12.
In fact during Manchester City's 2-1 EFL Cup victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium, Guardiola had no fewer than 16 members of staff flanking him as he was watching his side from the sidelines.
