Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane has praised Pep Guardiola, with the Germany international claiming that the Manchester City boss “reprogrammed” him and made him a better footballer through meticulous coaching.
Sane completed a €49 million (£45m/$55m) move - potentially rising to €60m (£55m/$67m) through add-ons – to the Allianz Arena in July, calling time on a trophy-laden four-year stay at the Etihad Stadium.
It had been suggested that the German had pushed for the move due to Guardiola's tactical demands, with some believing that the Catalan coach's methods can stifle players' creativity due to having to rigidly stick to his gameplan.
