Man City manager Guardiola: I once was world's best, but not anymore...

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola believes he is no longer the world's best manager.

Guardiola has won titles in Germany, Spain and England, but he thinks the mantle now belongs to somebody else.

The Catalan told Sky Sports: "I was," before taking a step back to say that he never once thought of himself in such high regard.

"What is the best coach in the world?" he added. "I never felt I am the best, never in my life.

"When I won six titles in a row in Barcelona and won trebles, I never felt that. I won because I had extraordinary players at big clubs.

"There are incredible managers, they don't have these players, they don't have these big clubs. I'm a good manager but not the best.

"Give me a team that is not like Manchester City, I am not going to win."
