Wolfsburg's 'Gouda Guardiola' Simonis is big fan of Man City coach
Simonis, who took over at Wolfsburg for the coming season after leading Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles to their first ever Dutch KNVB Cup victory in April, said Guardiola was one of the coaches who inspired him.
He also named Paris St Germain's Luis Enrique and Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa.
"Good question," Simonis told a press conference when asked about which coaches inspired him. "I really like, not because he looks like (me), but I really like Pep Guardiola.
"He looks like me. I was already bald before he was bald. What I like about these guys is how the players talk about them. If you take good care of them, they will pay you back."
"These types are capable of doing that, besides having a good technical and tactical plan to watch the games," Simonis added.
The Bundesliga season starts on August 22.

Martin confirms interest in Brentford's Meghoma
Rangers head coach Russell Martin confirmed the club's interest in Brentford left-back Jayden Meghoma and says new additions are likely before Tuesday's Champions League play-off with Club 19-year-old England youth international worked under Martin at Southampton before he joined Brentford in 2024, followed by a loan spell at Preston last Rangers head coach confirmed Jefte is likely to leave and with Ridvan Yilmaz yet to play this season and omitted from the European squad, Meghoma could come in on loan to play on the left side of defence."Jayden is a player we know from Southampton, spent a year with us as a young boy, training every day, understands the work, top talent, plays for England at all the youth levels," Martin said."Brentford signed him for a lot of money for a teenager, and he went on loan last year in the Championship and did really well."So he's a player we know and like, and hopefully at some point he'll be a Rangers player and you'll know that when he is."Martin's side welcome Club Brugge to Glasgow on Tuesday before the return leg on Wednesday 27 August, with the winner reaching the league Ibrox outfit have until the day before the first leg to register up to two new players to their European squad and Martin expects that to happen."The team will obviously look very different on Tuesday," Martin said, having made 10 changes for Saturday's 4-2 Premier Sports Cup victory over Alloa Athletic. "We're happy with the players we've got, but I think we'll add before then." Martin targets League Cup after blooding new faces The scoreline against Alloa was narrower than it could have been - Rangers dominated the game and missed several clear-cut chances - but conceded two sloppy goals as defensive frailties shone through the imperfect performance, Martin was able to take positives after handing opportunities to several new faces, with debuts for Tottenham loanee Mikey Moore, Thelo Aasgaard and Emmanuel Fernandez - who scored Rangers' second."We scored four goals, should score more but I'm pleased we got guys on the pitch for the first time properly here," Martin said."With 10 changes, it's not going to look as fluid and clean as it should, but so many of them will be in a better place than they were at the start."I'm pleased for Emmanuel Fernandez. He has a lot of potential and good attributes. It's a good start for him."Having secured a quarter-final spot against either Hibernian or Livingston, Martin says Rangers must target the League Cup as an opportunity for silverware."Today was frustrating at times, but we're through and guys got valuable minutes. It's my job to always want more and demand more," the former Scotland defender said."We want to win trophies this season and this is a great chance for us to do so."

Martin hopes to seal loan deal for Brentford left-back Meghoma - but insists returning striker Igamane isn't ready for Champions League duty
RANGERS head coach Russell Martin has reported himself hopeful of tying up a loan deal for Brentford left-back Jayden Meghoma – as he told striker Hamza Igamane to forget about starting against Club Brugge on Champions League duty. Martin worked with 19-year-old Meghoma during his time at Southampton and saw him move to Brentford for £10million in 2024 before going to Preston North End on loan in the second half of last term. With Jefte set to join Brazilians Palmeiras in a deal worth up to £6m and Ridvan Yilmaz tipped to go back to Turkey, Martin started yesterday's 4-2 Premier Sports Cup win over Alloa with Bailey Rice at left-back and is keen to have Meghoma in for the qualifying round play-off with Brugge. However, he has told Igamane that a decent showing as a second-half substitute against the Wasps will not be enough to grant him a place in the team for that £40m-plus shoot-out with the Belgians. Asked if the Moroccan, who replaced an ineffective Danilo, was ready to start with Cyriel Dessers still battling injury, Martin replied: 'No. I think we have to look at his physical condition. He's literally just come back. He played half-an-hour. It's a very different game. 'I'm not sure how long we would get from him from the start, so we have to utilise him and Thelo (Aasgaard) in the right way. 'I really liked Hamza's energy when he came on. He can do things that other players can't. 'Sometimes he looks a bit mad, but, if we can get him to make decisions a bit more consistently, I think he'll really help us. 'He wants to express himself, he wants to play. There's never a problem making a mistake as long as the reaction is really, really good.' On Meghoma, Martin, who worked with him during the 2023-24 as manager at Southampton, added: 'Jefte was in yesterday, and, by yesterday evening, he's maybe not going to be here moving forward because it's a good deal for him and the club. 'We'll see what happens over the next couple of days with that. And so, we have to be ready to replace him, and we always have been ready. So Jay is a player we know from Southampton, spent a year with us as a young boy, training every day, understands the work, top talent, plays for England at all the youth levels. 'Brentford signed him for a lot of money for a teenager, and he went on loan last year and to the Championship did really well, so he's a player we know and like. 'Hopefully, at some point, he'll be a Rangers player and you'll know that when he is.' Martin,though, admitted there were elements of his side's win over Alloa – goals from Nedim Bajrami, Manny Fernandez, James Tavernier and Findlay Curtis overcoming an own goal from Joe Rothwell and a Scott Taggart effort that made it 3-2 with 10 minutes to play – that left him unhappy. 'I saw some really good bits and some stuff that I didn't like, but I don't think I expected anything different,' he said. 'With guys that just haven't played very much, when you make 10 changes to the team, it's going to disrupt something. 'In the first half, after the first 15 minutes, when you can't quite sustain the same level of intensity, they caused some problems - which shouldn't happen. 'The most important bit was I wanted to see some intent to really run in the final third. And in moments we had that, we just couldn't sustain it for long enough. 'I think we've made a lot of changes by the second goal. When the guys are coming on the pitch, they have to really listen to what they're doing. There were actually two players who are just not in the position they should be, which will probably help us a lot. 'That's about being really ready when you come on, so that's the frustration. With the first goal, I feel for Liam (Kelly). We let a boy in on the inside in the first place. He just skips by, and then there's moments we have four or five bodies, and I think it's an own goal in the end. 'So, yeah, it's frustrating, but I don't think I expected today to look perfect and fluid and beautiful. There's so many players on the pitch who just haven't played any minutes yet, and it's been so full-on.' Mikey Moore, on loan from Spurs, was handed a debut and Martin was equally delighted to see Thelo Aasgaard recover from thigh trouble to appear in the second half. 'Mikey showed glimpses. You saw some moments, and you also saw some moments where he's a young boy sometimes,' said Martin. 'But we have to keep him free and let him express himself. It's not always going to come off, but I loved his intent with the ball. We need more of that for sure. 'He'll keep getting better, so I'm really pleased with that. And Thelo, I think you can see what he'll bring - the physical profile, the way he takes the ball, the way he moves. 'There's loads to come from this group.' Alloa player-boss Andy Graham added: 'My overriding emotion is pride.
