The Bayern Munich coach's move to the Premier League could see fellow managers change their tactical approaches, according to Roberto Martinez
Everton manager Roberto Martinez believes Pep Guardiola 's arrival at Manchester City will have a significant tactical impact on the British game.
City confirmed on Monday that Manuel Pellegrini would leave the club at the end of the season, with the Bayern Munich head coach coming in as his replacement.
Guardiola revolutionised the game with the implementation of his 'tiki-taka' style of play at Barcelona, who won La Liga three times and the Champions League twice under his stewardship.
In his time at Bayern, Guardiola has steered the German side to two Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal and the Club World Cup and Martinez is looking forward to the impact the fellow Catalan will have in England.
Martinez told reporters: "Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in world football, I don't think we are discovering anything by saying that. I think it's going to be fantastic for the league.
"He's going to bring a very successful football philosophy, without a doubt it will affect a lot of young coaches and managers in the country and bring a completely different tactical approach in the British game.
"He's Catalan, so of course I should know exactly what he is as a person, as a winner. He's got an attention to detail very, very difficult to find in another manager."
