Guardiola starts work at City on July 1 — and will kick off with a friendly at his old club Bayern Munich on July 20.
And speaking for the first time about the appointment, Khaldoon beamed: “We are getting a proven winner.
“He’s someone that will be an incredible asset to Manchester City. He will transform our team to a whole new level.
“I consider Pep to be one of the best — if not the best — manager today.”
