Coach Guardiola will move to EPL in future: Thierry Henry
Paris: French football great Thierry Henry expects Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola to join an English Premier League (EPL) club in the near future.
Guardiola’s contract with Bayern expires in June, and the former Barcelona tactician has indicated he is in no rush to sign an extension.
Henry believes the 44-year-old is well suited to EPL football.
“I think eventually he will come. He’s a competitor, he will want to win a title in every league possible,” Henry was quoted as saying by Sky Sports on Monday.
“It will suit him, being here in the Premier League. He’s a great guy, and he has a great view of the game. He’s one or two steps ahead, he’s in control of everything, the way he loves the game is second to none,” he said.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona star praised Guardiola as one of the best coaches he has ever come across.
“He is one of the best managers I’ve ever had. One thing that strikes me with him that you don’t see, he’s one of those guys who’s very demanding and (the) discipline that he has is on point. You need that amount of discipline to perform on and off the field,” Henry said.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
