Ranking Pep Guardiola’s disciples on their managerial win percentage: Xavi, Arteta, Alonso…

Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly one of the greatest managers of all time and he’s also had a profound impact on the upcoming coaches of today.

From players that Guardiola has coached to assistant managers that he’s had over the years, plenty of his disciples are making a mark in the managerial game right now.

We’ve taken a closer look at seven of Guardiola’s best-known disciples and have ranked them on their managerial win percentage.

Henry spent two years playing under Guardiola at Barcelona and often praises his former coach for the impact he had on his own playing and now coaching career.

While we absolutely adore Henry as a pundit, he seems determined to make it in the managerial game. After stints with Monaco, Montreal Impact and Belgium, he is currently the France U21 manager.

“Being a manager is about asking the question: can you make your players more intelligent, understand football a bit better?” Henry told Bixente Lizarazu.

“Let’s use Pep Guardiola as an example, I thought I was good at football but when I arrived there at Barcelona I just thought, wow, what is he talking about?

“Arsene Wenger, when I arrived to Arsenal, opened up my spirit and my mind as a continuation of what I learned at the academy at Clairefontaine. Pep Guardiola opened my eyes.”

Kompany started his managerial career with Anderlecht as a player-manager and he spent three years at the club before returning to England in 2022.

He managed to guide Burnley to promotion from the Championship at the first time of asking and completely revolutionised the playing style in the process. The impact of Guardiola is clear to see on Kompany given the similarities in their philosophies.

His overall win percentage has taken a bit of a battering this season though
