A debate is happening in football which centres around Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard is just off a treble winning season, but is being called out by current Brazil manager Fernando Diniz for his approach to managing games through positional principles.

Diniz believes football should be more ‘apositional’ and allow more freedom for players on the pitch. But is his approach the right one? Jon Mackenzie takes a look at just how negative an effect Guardiola has really had on football management.
