Pep Guardiola 'more arrogant' than Jose Mourinho - Mircea Lucescu

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is more arrogant than his Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho, according to Zenit St Petersburg coach Mircea Lucescu.

Experienced boss Lucescu, 71, told Dolce Sport: "Mourinho is an amazing guy, but my way of understanding football is totally different because I have an offensive mentality.

"All my teams have broken records for goals. Mourinho seems more arrogant than Guardiola but it is exactly the opposite.

"Either way, both are great coaches."

City beat United 2-1 at Old Trafford in September, with Guardiola's side currently top of the Premier League table, five points above rivals United.
