AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi admits he's tried to bring Pep Guardiola to Italy.

Guardiola is leaving Bayern Munich to take charge of Manchester City next season.

Berlusconi told Telelombardia: "As a coach I did court Guardiola when he was at Barcelona, because the game expressed by Barcelona was what pleased me most.

"He then became Bayern coach and now they tell me that he has moved again.

"For the best coaches, the names are known, but the demands are there to show how today's football has become a kind of Monopoly."
