Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has named Santos forward Neymar as the player he would have loved to coach.
Guardiola has managed several football icons, including Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.
However, the Spaniard missed the opportunity to manage Neymar at Barcelona because he left Camp Nou in 2012, a year before the Brazilian arrived at the club in 2013.
According to OKX (via City Xtra), Guardiola said he wished he had coached Neymar.
“Always, I would have loved, as a manager, to coach Neymar,” Guardiola said.
“Seeing his grace, his beauty, his movements in his prime at Barcelona with Luis Suarez, Messi and him, under Luis Enrique—they were unstoppable.”

Former Sweden striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has revealed that former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane must bring his management to the France national team when he becomes the head coach.
Ibrahimovic spoke to Fox Sports ahead of France’s World Cup third-place final with England on Saturday.
Zidane is expected to replace Didier Deschamps as France’s next coach after the conclusion of the World Cup.
“Zidane did a good job, he was at Real Madrid,” Ibrahimovic said. “He won three Champions Leagues.
“We all know that he is going to take the [France] national team. I think he will just continue to do the work that Deschamps has built.
“He has the players. Then, he must bring his management to the team, the way he wants to do it.
“But I believe he is more of a manager type rather than a coach because this team doesn’t need a coach. They need a manager.”
