Seydou Keita has likened AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia to Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola.
Keita played for Guardiola at Barcelona.
"I have come into a great squad and a united locker room," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"With players like Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi, Morgan De Sanctis, Mehdi Benatia, Miralem Pjanic and I'm surely forgetting others, we have everything it takes to enjoy a great season.
"We are working for the Scudetto and reinforced the team. I am confident, as now it's up to us players.
"Pep spoke highly of me at Barcelona because he always recognised my work for the team. Garcia is similar and reminds me of Pep, as he too likes to see his team play good football via possession and control. They have the same credo: results are to be sought through good football."
