Former Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce reveals he turned down the chance to sign Pep Guardiola when the Spaniard was looking for a club as a player. Guardiola was looking for a club following a spell as a player in the Middle East. Pearce said the future City manager spent "two or three days training" with the club, but did not sign a permanent deal. He went on to manage Barcelona and Bayern Munich, winning two Champions League titles. He has agreed a three-year contract to become Manchester City manager in the summer. This clip is from 5 live Sport on Tuesday 2nd February 2016.
