Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, has expressed his admiration for Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final clash. Despite Manchester City winning both of their previous encounters against Newcastle this season, with one victory being a narrow one-goal margin, Howe believes Guardiola may be the best manager in the history of football.

Newcastle has proven to be a challenging opponent for City, as they defeated them in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season. However, City has managed to secure important victories in the Premier League against Newcastle. Howe acknowledged Guardiola’s success and the quality of his team, highlighting the competitiveness of their recent matches.

Many people may argue that there have been better managers in football history than Guardiola. Still, Howe acknowledges the possibility of Guardiola solidifying his status as the best if City continues to achieve success, potentially winning the treble again this season. City is currently in contention for the Premier League title and remains a strong contender in the Champions League.

A win against Newcastle in the FA Cup would see City progress to the semi-finals, giving them a chance to secure another trophy and continue their pursuit of multiple titles this season. Guardiola’s leadership and success with City have positioned him as a strong candidate for the title of the best manager of all time in football.
