That is why, for me, he is the best coach in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, back in 2013 after his Bayern Munich side beat Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, Guardiola&#8217;s first major bit of hyperbole came when he referred to Philipp Lahm as the smartest player he&#8217;d ever coached having just spent four years coaching Messi and Xavi.<\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Lahm is the most intelligent player I have ever coached in my career,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/uefasupercup\/news\/0250-0c50fde19238-946a4cd4e0ee-1000\/#guardiola+praises+bayern+mourinho+disappointed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said the Catalan<\/a>. &#8220;The challenge to train him makes me happy to be here.
