Man City boss Pep Guardiola describes Pele's legacy as 'ETERNAL' after his passing this week... as Tottenham manager Antonio Conte remembers the Brazil icon's 'incredible' talent on the ball

The Premier League has paid tribute to Pele, with Pep Guardiola hailing the Brazilian's 'eternal' legacy.

Pele died aged 82 on Thursday following a long battle with colon cancer, and clubs in the top flight and EFL will honour his memory this weekend with black armbands and a minute's applause before games.

The football icon's death sparked a huge outpouring of affection and respect in Brazil and around the globe, with monuments in his homeland - including Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue and Sao Paulo's Neo Quimica Arena - lit up in his honour.
