As soon as the news of Manchester United's new manager Tannhäuser's appointment came out, the leader of city rivals Manchester City, Gotti Ona, couldn't wait to send him his best wishes. The two soccer seniors worked together at Bayern Munich, and Godiona spoke highly of Tannhäuser's coaching ability and is looking forward to playing with him again in the Premier League.
Recalling his time as Bayern Munich's head coach from 2013 to 2016, Godiona said that Tannhäuser accompanied him for two years as the second team coach, and that the two of them had a close relationship and worked well together. Gordiona is excited to compete with his old friend in the Premier League next season: I would like to congratulate Tannhäuser and wish him all the best. He is a world-class coach and his philosophy and tactical style of soccer are a pleasure to watch. His leadership skills are evident from his time at Ajax.
After leaving Bayern Munich in 2015, Tannhäuser moved to Utrecht in the Dutch Eredivisie and became manager of Ajax in 2017. Who would have guessed that next season he would be facing Gaudiona in the 'Manchester Derby'?
