SYDNEy. — Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard yesterday said “world-class” Pep Guardiola would be a great addition to the English Premier League after the much sought-after Bayern Munich boss said he wanted to coach in England.

Guardiola, who will turn 45 this month, said Tuesday that the reason he was leaving the German giants at the end of the season was because he wanted to coach in England.

“Pep Guardiola is a world-class manager,” Gerrard told reporters in Sydney ahead of a Liverpool Legends game today.

“It’s looking like he is going to be coming to the Premier League which is great for us.” Gerrard, clearly a fan of the ex-Barcelona boss, is currently reading “Pep Confidential”, a book about Guardiola’s first season at Bayern. — AFP.
