Following Barcelona’s historic Club World Cup victory over Estudiantes, club legend Johann Cruyff has become the latest high profile name to herald Pep Guardiola’s achievements as coach.

The flying Dutchman admitted that not only had Guardiola written a new chapter in club history as coach, but had done so in immaculate style.

"It's not just the result," he said, “but also the way to win, always producing quality on the field."

Cruyff, who remains the most successful coach in the Catalan club’s rich history, securing no less than eleven titles during his time in the hot-seat, was quoted in Marca as being "proud" of Guardiola for achieving, "a title that the club did not have, in more than one hundred years of history".

The current Catalonia tactician also revealed how impressed he has been with Pep’s decision making, saying the coach "knows to make decisions as he demonstrated on Saturday in the Club World Cup final".

The Club World Cup was Guardiola’s sixth title since taking charge less than two years ago.
