Spanish coach: Bernardo Silva on par with Xavi and Iniesta | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola did not hesitate to place Bernardo Silva among the best players he has coached during his career. The Spanish manager of Manchester City recently spoke at a press conference about the importance of the player developed at Benfica for his team.

"He is top. One of the best. He is capable of everything", Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, began by explaining. It’s worth remembering that throughout his career, the Spanish coach has managed names like Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Ribéry, or Robben, among many others.

Pep Guardiola went on to comment on the impact of Bernardo Silva at Manchester City: "He doesn’t score many goals or provide all the assists. He’s never done that, but he gives us things that don’t show up in the statistics and that are incredibly valuable to us. He is undoubtedly one of the best players I have ever coached".

Pep Guardiola’s praise comes at a time when there is much speculation regarding Bernardo Silva’s future. The midfielder, developed at Benfica and an international for the national team, has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2026.

This means that Bernardo Silva is free to sign with a new club starting next January. The midfielder developed at Seixal has been consistently linked with Benfica, but his future remains uncertain at the moment.
