Iconic football manager Pep Guardiola's belief in his "system" and desire to produce "better human beings" is something that resonates with South Africa's interim cricket coach Enoch Nkwe, who wants to create a foundation that will leave the struggling team in a better place.
Spanish football manager Guardiola, who has guided FC Barcelona to multiple Champions League titles and has helped Manchester City win English Premier League titles, is revered for his coaching philosophy.
"He (Pep Guardiola) is a special human being. He has produced special performances and (I like) the belief he has in his system. Just the drive he has to improve systems, improve human beings to be better and better all the time," Nkwe said when asked what is about Guardiola that he liked after the crushing 203-run loss to India in the opening Test here on Sunday.
When asked if he would like to imbibe some of his generic coaching philosophies, Nkwe said: "Just his total passion about the game. It is something that resonates within me. I feel I have so much to offer to the game. My biggest drive is to make a difference to human beings. I am in a position and I am grateful for that."
