Pep Guardiola agrees with Sam Allardyce's assertion that he is as good as him as the Manchester City boss launched a defence of experienced English managers.
Embattled Leeds raised eyebrows this week by turning to the 68-year-old Allardyce in a last-ditch attempt to stave off relegation.
Allardyce's unveiling on Wednesday was similarly surprising as he claimed 'there's nobody ahead of me in football terms - not Pep, not (Jurgen) Klopp, not (Mikel) Arteta'.
The new Leeds boss will get a chance to show that on Saturday afternoon when his relegation-threatened side travel to treble-chasing City.
