Pep: 'Dreamed of Juve move'

By Football Italia staff

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed that he “dreamed” of playing alongside Zinedine Zidane at Juventus.

Guardiola spent the majority of his playing career at Barcelona and coached them between 2008 and 2012, making a link-up at Real Madrid impossible.

However, the Spaniard admits he would have liked to line up in Juve’s midfield with Zidane in the 1990s.

“That never happened but I used to dream of playing with Zidane,” he said at a press conference.

“I’d like to have played for Juventus with him. My impression is he is an incredible person, how he handles the pressure.

“I admire him and it’s really good to have these kind of people. It will be a pleasure to see him again.”

The pair will face off in the Champions League last 16 after the New Year.
