It’s crazy! Sometimes I don’t understand how it’s possible. He’s crazy when it comes to football; a football-holic if you can call it that!"Guardiola was appointed as the City manager in 2016 and has led them to four Premier League titles in the last five seasons. With the prolific Haaland in his ranks this season, he will also look to add the UEFA Champions League trophy to his collection at the Eithad and a Premier League three-peat.
