'Playing football under Guardiola is almost easy' - Ex-Bayern defender Kirchhoff hails Man City boss

Former Bayern Munich defender Jan Kirchhoff says football is "almost easy" when you have Pep Guardiola as coach.

The centre-back joined the German giants in the summer of 2013, the same year Guardiola made the move to the Allianz Arena to mark his return to the game after an illustrious period in charge of Barcelona.

The coach guided the Bavarian outfit to three consecutive Bundesliga titles and two DFB-Pokal crowns before leaving for Manchester City in 2016.
