Guardiola era begins at Man City

MUNICH, Germany -- Pep Guardiola's outfit was decidedly casual, a grey polo shirt worn over beige khakis and trainers. His body language told a different story. Impatient hands refused to stay in their pockets, grabbing his face in exasperation one second and clapping furiously the next, somehow finding time to point an accusing finger in-between. All the while he was pacing and shouting, muttering and glowering.

It was always going to be this way for the Spaniard's first game in charge of Manchester City, even if it was only a friendly 1-0 defeat at his former employers, Bayern Munich.
