Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso claims that Manchester City players will not find it easy to immediately adapt to the managerial style of Pep Guardiola.

It was announced recently that the former Barcelona manager will be taking over at the Etihad stadium from the summer from Manuel Pellegrini. This has been seen as a major boost to City and the Premier League in a number of ways since Guardiola is one of the coveted managers in world football. This will be his first job in the English game after having previously expressed his fascination of the same.

After Bayern Munich allowed Bastian Schweinsteiger to join Manchester United, it was thought to cement the position of Xabi Alonso in the first-team quite strongly.
