Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has no problem with the claims of new Leeds United manager Sam Allardyce.

At his presentation on Wednesday, Allardyce said he is "up there" with any manager in the Premier League including Guardiola and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

After victory over West Ham, Guardiola said: "He is right.

"I want to be honest. Look what happened with Neil Warnock in Huddersfield. There's a tendency for these incredible managers, they have done this Premier League or this competition in [a] better position.

"It looks like the young managers with the tactics [but] they are really good and help us to be what we are. Roy Hodgson for Crystal Palace, look what they have done, they are really good, they have incredible experience and they know the game perfectly.

"It will be tough because he has the charisma and he will put out the pressure on the players and knows exactly what to do in this situation in a relegation battle.

"These type of old managers now people with 35, 40 we invent football. No, football is already created. These guys helped us to do it and that's why.

"Neil Warnock, Huddersfield were in the last [position] and now already out of the dangerous positions.

"I could not experience what Harry Redknapp has done in this country. There are many English managers who have done really well, you don't have to be young to be a good manager. As much experience you have, you are good."
