Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti have offered their support to Manchester City Women and Everton bosses Gareth Taylor and Willie Kirk ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup final at Wembley.
Both coaches are looking for their first piece of silver and have drawn on the experience of two coaches who know everything about winning.
“I managed to talk to Pep a couple of weeks ago and the first thing he asked me was when was the final, so it’s great that he’s keeping a lot of interest, he’s been very supportive,” City manager Taylor said.
“That’s the beauty of being at City, it really feels like family and everyone is really behind us, supporting us and hoping we do well.”
While Guardiola will be able to watch Sunday’s final on television, Ancelotti’s side is tied to a Premier League trip to Newcastle.
“I spoke with Carlo yesterday about it and he finds it a shame the beginnings are so close,” Kirk said. I’m sure news of our victory, if that’s the case, will reach Newcastle quickly and I’m sure the men will be celebrating.
“ The way she prepared for the FA Cup final was completely different than the way I prepared for her, but that was because the week before winning the FA Cup she won the league, so she was probably in a very strong position. This is our first chance to win the silverware so I’m treating it slightly differently. ‘
City forward Chloe Kelly, who left Everton in the summer, now faces her former team having played a role in their trip to Wembley. Kelly, 22, is eligible to play because last season’s finale takes place in the 2020-2021 campaign due to the coronavirus.
“It’s a weird situation, but it’s the FA Cup final and something dreams are made of. It doesn’t matter who he’s up against, we want to get the job done. ‘
