Spanish coach: Bernardo Silva up there with Xavi, 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, who was developed at Benfica, for his team.

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

Pep Guardiola continued and commented on the impact of Bernardo Silva at Manchester City: "He doesn’t score many goals or make all the assists. He never did that, but he gives us things that don’t show up in the statistics and that are incredibly valuable for 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, who came through the Seixal academy, has been consistently linked with Benfica, but his future remains uncertain at this moment.
