Why did Pep Guardiola become the coach of "Manchester City"? He says he did it to prove that his success in Spain and Germany did not come solely from lucky circumstances. In England, coaches are either recognized as the best or crushed, and Guardiola sees the "Premier" league as a challenge for himself. But what can Guardiola bring to the "Premier" league and English football as a whole? What innovations will be felt at the "Etihad" stadium because of him? What can his appointment as coach of "City" bring to the development of football in this country? These questions were attempted to be answered by Bleacher Report analyst Graham Ruthven. Guardiola arrives at an interesting time for English football. Football played in the "Premier" league must be modernized in order not to lag behind the standards set by other top European leagues. This is best symbolized by the Champions League, where Spanish and German teams dominate, and the results of English clubs have not been inspiring lately. That is why the Spaniard could be a revolutionary figure in English sports. He is considered one of the elite football coaches in the world, and his unconventional training methods have set precedents and brought excellent results. Now the "Premier" league hopes to draw from his experience and raise the level of play in the country. After three years spent in Germany, the country's football became more technical and tactically improved, with Guardiola's ideologies advancing the entire Bundesliga. It was beneficial not only for Bayern Munich but also for those teams that competed against Guardiola's disciples. The "Premier" league now hopes to reap similar benefits. Guardiola could have the same impact on English football as Arsene Wenger had at the beginning of the last decade. The Frenchman arrived at Arsenal at a time when the country's football was not at its best. English football needed modernization, and that is exactly what Wenger brought. Guardiola can now make similar effective and radical changes. His appointment as strategist for Manchester City immediately forced changes for another city team - Manchester United, who fired Louis van Gaal and hired Jose Mourinho. Chelsea also did not lag behind, bringing in Antonio Conte, replacing Guus Hiddink, who was acting as interim coach. Never before has English football had so many talented coaches at the same time. If the "Premier" league does not modernize its game and keep up with other countries, they will never be able to do so. Where Guardiola arrives, football revolutions follow, and that should now be seen on the shores of England as he began working at the "Etihad" stadium. When Wenger was appointed coach of Arsenal, he changed the entire club culture, which ultimately impacted the entire league. The alcohol-drinking culture that plagued English football disappeared, and the Frenchman's arrival brought professionalism. Without a doubt, English football does not need such changes now, but changes in football intellect are needed. It is unclear whether the players or the coaches are more to blame, but English players seem to lack the tactical knowledge and understanding of the game that players from other European countries have matured in. This is where Guardiola will have the greatest influence, and players like Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph will become his test subjects. "Every coach in the world wants to improve his players - this way, you improve the whole team. I work just like other coaches. I have my own view on football and I know what kind of gameplay I want to see from my team, but I need time. In this world, we never have enough time, so we will try to create the best team we can in the shortest time possible. The most important thing will be our body language, and everything else will come with time," Guardiola introduced himself to Manchester City in an interview with the Telegraph. Indeed, as Guardiola said, everything else will come with time. He may not have said this phrase thinking about it, but it can be used to reflect the current situation in English football, having so many top-level coaches. While there is no doubt that Guardiola and other coaches will start a new tactical era in the "Premier" league, his influence will be felt not only in tactical matters. Now players are given and taught much more game details than ever before. "My tactics adapt to the qualifications of the players at hand. I can't demand from them what they can't give me. It's impossible. I can't talk about how my players and we will play if I don't feel what they can and know how. I want them to be good team players. I like players who think not only about themselves but also about the Manchester City club. We are here to figure out what we need to do to make this club better. We are not here to think about what the club will do for us. We want to be a better club," said the Spaniard. Guardiola celebrated success in every club he has worked with so far, winning numerous national titles and two Champions Leagues during his time at Barcelona and Bayern clubs. It is expected of him to continue his successful journey with Manchester City, but other factors following his career should bring positivity to English football as a whole. Spain and Germany's football reached its peak over the past decade, and Guardiola worked in both leagues during this period. As the Barcelona coach, he helped make La Liga the dominant league in Europe, and during his time at Bayern, the discussion of the strongest European leagues started to include the Bundesliga. Now the Premier league hopes for the same golden touch. Manchester City will be the ones to benefit the most from the new coach, but with the arrival of the biggest football revolutionist of the past decade, the entire country's football could slip into place.
