Lionel Messi heaped praise on Pep Guardiola, but gave Luis Enrique an honorable mention, when asked who he considered the best manager to ever coach him.
The revelation comes from an interview conducted by RAC1 with Messi. They asked him point-blank who the best manager he ever had was.
“I think Guardiola,” the #10 answered, “Guardiola is the best in everything, and Luis Enrique very close behind.”
Guardiola and Luis Enrique are the only two Barcelona managers to have won either the FIFA World Coach of the Year or The Best FIFA Football Coach award.
