Following their official presentations, the rival coaches are now set to get straight to work in preparation for the new season.
The Premier League has welcomed its latest rivalry, with Pep
Guardiola and Jose Mourinho being introduced to Manchester City and
Manchester United fans respectively over the past few days.
The two coaches have always had different personalities, styles and approaches to the game so it was little surprise that their introductions were also unique.
Here are five differences from the pair’s respective unveilings.
