Guardiola takes first Man City session

Pep Guardiola has taken his first training session since being named as the new Manchester City manager.

The 45-year-old was confirmed as Manuel Pellegrini's successor in February, but was only officially unveiled at the weekend having seen out his contract with Bayern Munich.

He has now overseen his maiden pre-season training session too, with the club posting a gallery of photographs on their official website.

The likes of Samir Nasri, Yaya Toure, Wilfried Bony, Fernandinho and Fabian Delph were all involved, but the players who participated at Euro 2016 this summer will be given extra time off.

City will travel to China for their pre-season International Champions Cup tournament later this month, where they will take on Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund.

Guardiola is due to hold his first press conference as City boss on Friday.
