Pep Guardiola has achieved success wherever he has gone.

The 47-year-old Spanish coach started his managerial career at Barcelona and won 15 major trophies in just four years.

Guardiola took a sabbatical and then moved to Bayern Munich, where he won seven trophies in three years.

He joined Manchester City in 2016 and has just broken the record for most points in a Premier League season.

The runaway league leaders can hit the 100-point mark with a victory in their final game of the season against Southampton.

Guardiola transformed Man City's ageing squad last summer.

Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri, Aleksandar Kolarov, Wilfried Bony, Jesus Navas, Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna all departed.

What Guardiola told Clichy

The French defender moved to Istanbul Basaksehir on a free transfer in 2017, despite making 39 appearances during his final season at the Etihad.

Interviewed by The Guardian, Clichy has recounted his very first conversation with Guardiola.

Man City's energetic boss summoned Clichy into his office and was brutally honest with the ageing left-back.

“Your career is behind you now,” Guardiola told Clichy bluntly, as per The Guardian.

“But you have a duty, every day, every session, every behaviour you have; young players are looking up to you and even if you don’t feel like a special player, you’ve done so many years in England, you’ve won trophies, you are somebody and those young players will look up to you and behave like you are behaving.”

Clichy, now 32, was replaced by Monaco's Benjamin Mendy the following summer - but Guardiola's words have stayed with him.

“When I came here I thought it would be easier and maybe I could take it a bit easy," admitted Clichy.

"I was telling my wife it was my last few years so I want to enjoy it, but I am working even harder than I was at City. Why? Because the president gave me everything and they’re here for me. When you meet people like this you just want to give back, to work as hard as possible.

"The Turkish league is not as professional as the English league and I will always remember what Guardiola told me, so every day I will train as those guys are looking up to me, whether they want it or not."
