Manchester City's meritorious football director Begiristan left office this summer. Recently, he talked about his experience working with Guardiola. In 2016, Begiristan and CEO Soriano cooperated to bring Guardiola to the Etihad Stadium, and since then, a Blue Moon Dynasty has begun.
Bergilistan said: "First of all, we played together, we went through a lot, and then we started working together. When I was working at Manchester City, Guardiola could be invited, and then he came here. I have to be clear about my role, and I also have to understand that he is the person we are looking for.
" Guardiola has to be the leader of the entire project, and there is no doubt that this is. Of course, you need to help him stay calm and show him that you have the ability to help him build the best team in the world by building the club’s framework. Once we have this team, he can lead the team to play the best football in the world - working with Guardiola, and you can achieve both at the same time.
"Working with other coaches, you may have the best team, but you may not be able to play the best football. We need to trust each other, of course, we are friends and have played together, which is very helpful for our cooperation."
Bergiristan played a key role in ensuring Guardiola's long-term coaching Manchester City. In fact, Guardiola also helped Manchester City retain Begiristan, who should have retired. Now 61-year-old Begiristan has finally decided to retreat to the second line, and he has helped Manchester City win as many as 21 trophys.
Bergilistan said: "You can't control how long you'll be somewhere. I thought I'd have some different experiences. Leaving the comfort zone is important to me, and Barcelona is my comfort zone. But why don't I go to Italy, the United States or back to Japan? Because I want to work in the Premier League.
"After coming to Manchester City, everything went very well from the beginning, I was very happy, and for a sporting director it was perfect, and that's why I decided to stay.
"Of course, there was a critical moment during this period, when Guardiola could be invited and he wanted to come to the Premier League. I'm here to build something with him that can guarantee long-term."
