Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has said that Bayern Munich's Pep Guardiola would be a success if he were to come to England.
The two sides meet in the Champions League on Tuesday and, when asked how his opposite number would fare in the Premier League, Pellegrini responded positively.
"I cannot read what will happen in the future, but I am sure if sometime he arrives here he will be a very important manager as he was in Barcelona and now at Bayern Munich, but it is impossible for me to know," Pellegrini told the Daily Mail.
"I think it will be very good for him and very good for the Premier League also.
"I think that Pep is a very good manager, he demonstrated what he did in Barcelona and now at Bayern Munich."
Some reports have suggested that Guardiola could replace Pellegrini in the summer, while others claim that the Spaniard might take over from Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
