Pep Guardiola is on course to win his third Premier League title in a row and fifth overall, earning him two LMA (League Managers Association) awards, which have unavoidably made him subject to envy.
Leeds' new manager, Sam Allardyce, has come out to admit this jealousy, saying he gets a little envious of the highly successful Spaniard.
What Allardyce said
Big Sam has recently been appointed the coach of Leeds United, and speaking ahead of this weekend's matchup against Manchester City, the seasoned gaffer was full of praise for the former Barcelona man.

"I have obviously met him at the LMA [League Managers Association] events and stuff like that, especially when he wins it [the manager of the year award]. I get a bit jealous then, but there you go.
"He's a great guy and his knowledge is fantastic, from what he has done and achieved. It's great to be pitting your wits against coaches like him and in the Premier League in general. If you want to be a player or a coach or a physio or sports psychologist, the Premier League is the only place to be in this country."
