Pep Guardiola pays heartfelt tribute to 'incredible' Terry Venables and labels the former Barcelona manager as a 'true gentleman' following his tragic death aged 80

Pep Guardiola became the latest football icon to pay tribute to former Barcelona and England manager Terry Venables who passed away, aged 80, on Saturday.

It was announced on Sunday that Venables, who also managed Tottenham, Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace, had died following a long illness.

Immediately afterwards, tributes began pouring in - from players, pundits and clubs. Spurs also held a minute's silence and wore black armbands prior to kick-off against Aston Villa.

Now, the Manchester City manager - who once appeared in an iconic photo alongside Venables during his stint in Barcelona - has reflected on the football icon.
