Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has rejected the doubters of Marcelo Bielsa.

Bielsa was sacked by Leeds earlier this year.

But Guardiola insists Bielsa would achieve great things with a better team.

"Give Bielsa my Barcelona and see how many trophies he wins," declared Guardiola. "Give me his Leeds and we'll be relegated to the Championship."

Bielsa managed Leeds from 2018 to 2022. In the 2019/20 season, the 66-year-old Argentine led the club to the championship title and promotion.
