Guardiola delighted with new signings’ progress | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola says he has been impressed with the new players who arrived during the January transfer window.

The City boss says all four have already shown why the Club were keen to bring them in last month and that they are settling in well.

Asked for his thoughts on Abdukodir Khusanov, Omar Marmoush, Nico and Vitor Reis, Guardiola said: “Really good for the short time in training [they have had], really good.

“Khusanov arrived and played against Chelsea, Newcastle, Real Madrid, Liverpool – all tough and difficult schedules from where they come from.

“For the lack of communication, Khusanov doesn’t speak English fluently, so the impact is good.

“Omar as well - Nico has played less, but they have been really good. We’re satisfied and of course Vitor, when he has minutes it's a good level.”

Asked whether the quartet were part of a larger restructure of the team, and whether this was his toughest managerial challenge yet. the boss replied ‘no’ and pointed out he has reshaped his squad several times during his time at City.

“We’ve done it already,” he said.

“After nine years, this is not the same team that we started with nine years ago, we’ve done it two or three times already, so it’s not the biggest challenge.

“The biggest was when I was first starting my managerial career with my staff and a lot of tasks [we had]," he said.

"We were together and proved to myself and our staff that we could do it."
