Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Pep Guardiola to be a success in England, but insists he won’t find it easy.
Guardiola is set to replace Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City this summer and United legend Ferguson believes it will be the hardest job he has done.
The Spaniard enjoyed unprecedented success with Barcelona before moving to Bayern Munich, where he is on the verge of winning his third straight Bundesliga title.
Ferguson praised Guardiola’s coaching ability and work ethic, but said the 45-year-old could be in for a shock.
“Well Pep has got a fantastic work ethic about him,” he told Sky Sports. “And he demands that from all his training sessions. So anyone who says they’re not going to work hard won’t last long I’m sure of that.
“He has got great coaching ability there’s no doubt about that. It’s interesting because it’ll be difficult to match what he did at Barcelona.
“Obviously Man City have had a real coup in getting him because he’s an outstanding coach, but Pep won’t find it easy. English football is not easy. Every foreign coach who has come to England will tell you that.
“Arsene Wenger, after a few months [of arriving], he was talking about that. Even Jose we he came, after his first season he realised what he achieved was hard work.
“So, he will be a success I don’t think he’ll ever replicate what he ever did at Barcelona but that was a high standard. They were the best.”
