Manchester City will soon be welcoming their new manager at the Etihad Stadium and the striker has been learning all about his soon-to-be coach from his friend, Lionel Messi

Sergio Aguero's international colleague and friend Lionel Messi has told him exactly what to expect with the arrival of Pep Guardiola this summer. 

The Bayern Munich coach will be taking over from Manuel Pellegrini as Manchester City manager at the end of this campaign. 

Aguero revealed what information he had been given from Messi, he said, “Leo has told me he is very impressive and other players with whom I have spoken have said the same,

“I don't know him personally so we'll see after Copa America what is going to happen. I will get to know him and he will push us all.

“I think he is a coach who will put a lot of pressure on the players and we need that. I think the arrival of him not just for me but for other players will be important for club.

“There is a reason that the club invests in important players and then a coach is very important.

“We hope that Pep adapts to the club and decides how we are going to play. But it is fundamental that next year we advance a bit more.”

Manchester City expect major changes with the arrival of Guardiola.
