Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted for Marcelo Bielsa over his new job at Lille.

Bielsa will take charge of Lille next season.

Guardiola has admitted the Argentine has been one of his biggest influences and said today: "My admiration for Marcelo Bielsa is great because he makes good players even better.

"I never met anyone who did not say good things about him. They are all grateful for the influence he has had in their careers.

"It's not important how many titles he won. It is much less important than how he influences his players and that is why for me, he is the best coach in the world. I can not wait to see him in Lille next year. I am sure that his influence will be enormous."
