Guardiola - Montanier, first tame face to face

The Barça and Real Sociedad managers will come face to face for the first time on Saturday at Real Sociedad. Both managers will be looking to win their second consecutive League game.

Guardiola - Montanier, first tame face to face

At 6 o'clock in the evening, and at a ground where FC Barcelona lost 2-1 last season, Pep Guardiola and Philippe Montanier will come up against each other for the first time as managers of their respective teams.

Montanier, a newcomer in the League
Born in Vernon (France), the manager of Real Sociedad recently joined the Spanish League, from the French club Valenciennes. The 46 year old manager had previously managed Boulogne, where he stayed for five seasons.

Arrival and settling in quickly
Montanier’s first game in Spain was pretty successful. His team, from San Sebastian, started their campaign with a trip to Sporting, and the visitors took all 3 points back home. Agirretxe was the author of their 2 goals, and they came away 2-1 winners.
