What did Pep Guardiola say about Ruben?

All I can talk about is the experience of playing twice against Ruben’s Sporting Lisbon team, one or two seasons ago, and the pressure was really, really good,”
And look this season, he is unbeaten and winning all the games in the Portuguese League and the Champions League, [they have] the same points as us. So a high manager.
“What’s going to happen I don’t know, because what happened here in my experience, doesn’t mean it works for the other ones. The manager, the team, the club, the structures, the physios, the doctors, the players, it’s many things”.
Pep said to reporters

There is still a chance of Ruben saying no to the offer, but most probably, he also wanted to manage big clubs like Manchester United in the major league like the Premier League, which is known as the highest-rated league.
