‘He introduced many, many things; a true gentleman’Manchester City manager was a ballboy during Venables’ reign
Pep Guardiola has characterised Terry Venables as a visionary and charismatic Barcelona coach whose singing of Frank Sinatra on Spanish television made him hugely popular in the county. The Manchester City manager paid tribute to Venables following his death on Sunday, aged 80.
Venables took charge of Barcelona in 1984 and led the club to their first La Liga title in 11 years. The following year he led Barça to their first ever European Cup final, which they lost to Steaua Bucharest on penalties.
