I wish I got more than a handshake with Man City boss Guardiola - Wagner

Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner wishes he could have a sit-down and chat with Pep Guardiola this weekend.

Wagner's in-form Championship side host Guardiola's Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday and the German admits it would be a great experience to pick the brain of the revolutionary Spaniard.

"He is one of the best in the business, for sure," Wagner told Sky Sports News HQ.

"But who is on the other side is irrelevant for me. I wish I could have more than only a handshake with him and speak with him a little about football.

"Unfortunately this will not happen and this is why it's irrelevant.

"I wish I'd had more time with Rafa Benitez against Newcastle or Roberto Di Matteo, unfortunately it doesn't happen, just a quick handshake."
