Pep Guardiola remains in awe of Arsene Wenger, admiring how he's become the integral figure of Arsenal since taking over the club in 1996.

"Twenty years at one club is now impossible. Wenger is not only a coach, he is a sporting director," Guardiola said on Monday.

"He changed the club. They played defensively before he came.

"Wenger is more than just a coach for this club - he is almost everything."
