Pep Guardiola is surprising Manchester City’s new backroom staff with relentless energy and a refusal to slow down – despite a glittering decade in the Premier League.
Kolo Toure, who was appointed first-team coach in the summer, stepped in to take on Guardiola’s media duties before City go to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The ex-City defender, part of the 2012 title-winning team, detailed his own role and revealed that he feels empowered by the City manager.
Guardiola has 18 months left on his latest contract and two points behind Arsenal in search of a seventh league crown.
