Antoine Semenyo praises Guardiola after Ghana victory and farewell to Manchester City

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo reflects on his time under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City following Ghana's victory over Panama. Semenyo emphasizes how much he has learned in six months under the Catalan top coach.

After Ghana's hard-fought win over Panama in a friendly match, Manchester City striker and Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo praised his former coach Pep Guardiola. Semenyo switched from Bournemouth to Manchester City last winter, where he worked under the Catalan for six months. Guardiola recently parted ways with The Citizens.

Semenyo said that his collaboration with Guardiola has brought him a lot as a player. "Pep has taught me a lot in six months, especially tactically and technically," he said. “His approach to the game and his training methods have fundamentally improved my understanding and game intelligence.”

The Ghanaian recently played for his national team, which just managed to beat Panama after an exciting match. Despite the narrow victory, Semenyo looks back on a valuable period, both with the national team and at club level. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, he sees Guardiola's lessons as an important building block for his further development.

Ghana hopes to continue the positive trend towards the upcoming World Cup, where players like Semenyo will have to make the difference. The influence of leading coaches such as Guardiola proves to be of great value to many players in their international careers.
