Gudjohnsen drawing inspiration from Guardiola & Mourinho as he embarks on coaching career

Having worked with managerial greats such as Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Claudio Ranieri, there's no denying Eidur Gudjohnsen had plenty of high-profile names to look up to throughout his playing career.

The former striker worked with Ranieri and Mourinho during his time at Chelsea between 2000 and 2006, while teaming up with the likes of Frank Rijkaard and Guardiola at Barcelona for the following three seasons after his move to La Liga.

Gudjohnsen also enjoyed spells at Monaco, Tottenham and Bolton Wanderers among other clubs before eventually hanging up his boots in September 2017.
