Away from the barbecue menu , there 's also a selection of dishes including bibimbab rice bowls , noodle soups , hot pots and dumplings .
One of the latest openings in the ever-evolving Prestwich village , Remal has landed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and meat cooked over charcoal .
It 's an authentic taste of Lebanon , with house specialties including kibbeh ( crushed wheat stuffed with lamb ) , fattoush salad , bamieh ( an okra stew ) and muklubieh ( rice layered with aubergine and lamb ) .

The restaurant is operated by the Salim family , who want to bring a taste @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friend get-togethers over plates of homemade food - to the suburb .
Mission accomplished .

There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thailand in its rendang curries and pad Thai noodles .
It 's stayed largely unchanged for a generation , but if it ai n't broke ...
There 's such a high ratio of Nepalese restaurants on Burton Road that it 's practically a tiny , very flat Himalayas .
Gurkha Grill , Namaste Nepal and The Great Kathmandu all line up in a stretch of about 100m and are all worthy of your attention - but it 's the latter that 's snagged all the awards .
The restaurant was founded in 1986 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his children chipping in to create what 's become one of the most successful and long-standing Nepalese restaurants in the country - its lengthy list of accolades speaks for itself .
Marinated meats cooked in a tandoor oven , weighty silver platters of curries ( including their fiery khorsani ) , and naan breads that droop over the sides of their plate all conspire to make The Great Kathmandu so great .
Oh is for oh man , there 's only one country that begins with O and it 's Oman ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we thought this letter would be a write-off - until we remembered Ariyadh .

A hard-to-find gem right in the heart of the city centre , Platzki 's farmhouse-style restaurant earned a glowing review from the M.E.N .

If you 're stuck ( or ravenous ) , there 's a mixed platter of baked aubergines , beans , olives , feta and tomato to share .
Based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Stretford , Middle Eastern restaurant Samir 's is a modest spot that 's easy to overlook beyond the blur of passing traffic .

A is for... Armenia
Armenian Taverna
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Armenian Taverna opened in a basement beneath Princess Street, just off Albert Square, in 1968, making it one of the city centre's oldest restaurants.
A recent refurb replaced its famous red murals with more understated decor, though it's still resolutely old-school.
Tables are spread with white tablecloths and laid with cut-glass wine goblets and tumblers, against a backdrop of mottled plasterwork walls, intricately embroidered wall hangings, tiled floors and marble columns.
Bordered by Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and formerly a Soviet republic, Armenia's cuisine is a melting pot of Middle Eastern and European influences.
The menu here reflects that, mixing native staples such as lavash bread, khorovadz kebabs and stuffed cabbage leaves with the likes of borsch, a Ukranian beetroot soup also popular in Russia, and Georgian khinkali.
B is for... Belgium
Bock Biere Cafe
(Image: Eddie Garvey)
Tucked up Tib Lane, Belgian bar Bock Biere Cafe oozes continental class.
Stacked over three storeys, the cosy space is modelled on 'the timeless cafés of Europe' with leather booths, marble-topped tables and chequerboard flooring.
Behind the bar there's an enormous selection of Belgian beers, both on tap and in bottles, spanning everything from monastery-brewed Trappist beers to witbiers and saisons.
There's also a Lowlands-inspired food menu food menu with dishes such as moules frites, carbonade flamande (a Flemish beef stew) and bitterballen, alongside its signature fondues.
C is for... Cambodia
Angkor Soul
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
With restaurants in Marple and Altrincham, and stalls at Stockport Produce Hall and Didsbury's Mad Giant (trading as Kambuja at the latter), Angkor Soul is one of only a handful of operators showcasing Cambodian cuisine in the UK.
It's won plenty of plaudits including a glowing review from The Observer critic Jay Rayner, who praised the ‘vivid, extremely fresh home cooking’ at the original Marple cafe.
The menu at the main restaurants includes curries, stir-fries, noodle dishes, with a more streamlined, street food style menu at its food hall pitches.
D is for... Dominican Republic
La Republica, Eccles
Based on Eccles' bustling Church Street, La Republica specialises in picadera - Dominican tapas.
Expect bite-sized dishes such as cassava fritters and fried Quisqeya salami, alongside larger plates such as mofungo, a Dominican and Puerto Rican dish made from twice fried plantain, garlic, and pork scratchings, and served with different meats and a garlic gravy.
E is for... Ethiopia
Habesha
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Accessed through a set of discouragingly shabby steps in the corner of a kebab shop, you'd be forgiven for hesitating at the doorway of Habesha.
But those who make it upstairs will be glad they did.
The menu revolves around injera, a fermented sourdough flatbread which is used as a huge shared plate from which to eat various meat stews and vegetable dishes.
Dinner is rounded off with Ethiopian coffee, a potent oily brew flavoured with cardamom and served black and short.
F is for... France
63 Degrees
Adding a certain je ne sais quoi to a street crowded with burrito and burger bars, French bistro 63 Degrees is a rare pocket of chic in the Northern Quarter.
Chef and owner Eric Moreau serves an elegant menu of classic Parisian-style dishes: think oysters, snails and côte de boeuf, alongside its signature chicken, cooked low and slow at 63 degrees.
It's one of the area's pricier restaurants, but there's a good value set lunch menu offering two courses for £16 or three for £20, and a Tuesday night tasting menu with five courses for £28.
G is for... Greece
Kosmos Taverna
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Greek restaurant Kosmos has witnessed nearly 40 years of change in the student suburb of Fallowfield, while remaining resolutely unaltered itself.
Established in 1981 by Cypriot cook and erstwhile TV chef Loulla Astin and her late husband Stewart, and still run by the same family, the modest restaurant has become a south Manchester institution.
Behind its blue and white awning it's the taverna that time forgot - all waxed paper tablecloths, terracotta tiled floors, vases of fake flowers and clusters of family photographs.
The menu ticks off plenty of Greek and Cypriot classics, from mezze platters groaning with dolmathes, falafel, houmous and melintzanosalata to more localised specialities such as afelia, a pork shoulder stew simmered with red wine, crushed coriander seeds, cumin and cinnamon, and served with cracked wheat pilaf.
H is for... Hungary
The Sparrows
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Named after the translation of Hungarian speciality spätzle - a type of v-shaped dumpling resembling a bird in flight - The Sparrows serves comforting, carb-laden, continental dishes.
Alongside other Hungarian classics like goulash, you'll also find Polish pierogi, Russian pelimeni, and northern Italian gnocchi and ravioli.
Essentially, if it involves European roots, clouds of flour and a deft hand, you'll find it here.
You'll have to wait a while for this one - they're in the process of relocating from Mirabel Street to a new site on Red Bank. A reopening date has yet to be confirmed - watch this space.
I is for... Italy
Salvi's
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Manchester's spoilt for choice when it comes to Italian food. Pasta and pizza have a particularly strong showing thanks to specialists like Sugo Pasta Kitchen, The Pasta Factory, Rudy's and Honest Crust.
But for a reliable all-rounder of a menu, independent restaurant group Salvi's is our go-to.
The original mozzarella bar at the Corn Exchange is great for grazing on antipasti platters when the sun's out over its terrace on Exchange Square, while its new Northern Quarter restaurant delves deeper into Neapolitan cuisine.
There's also the Cucina restaurant on John Dalton Street and a dedicated pizzeria next door.
J is for... Japan
Yuzu
(Image: ABNM Photography)
Loved by the guidebooks and critics, this Chinatown gem serves a simple menu of Japanese classics.
You won't find any sushi on the menu - they've humbly decided to leave that to masters of the craft - but there is a wide selection of sashimi alongside yakitori and kara-age chicken, assorted tempura and katsu dishes and udon stir-fries.
Reliable food, reasonable prices and relaxed surroundings make this Faulkner Street restaurant a hit on every level.
K is for... Korea
Baekdu, Stockport
Based in the old Jack Horner pub, Korean barbecue restaurant Baekdu was a bold addition to Stockport's fledgling food scene when it opened in 2017.
Inside, each table is inset with its own grill pit, where mountains of thinly-sliced, marinated meat are cooked over coals.
Away from the barbecue menu, there's also a selection of dishes including bibimbab rice bowls, noodle soups, hot pots and dumplings.
L is for... Lebanon
Remal, Prestwich
One of the latest openings in the ever-evolving Prestwich village, Remal has landed in a flurry of grains and parsley and meat cooked over charcoal.
It's an authentic taste of Lebanon, with house specialties including kibbeh (crushed wheat stuffed with lamb), fattoush salad, bamieh (an okra stew) and muklubieh (rice layered with aubergine and lamb).
You can't pass on dessert here, not when there's kunafa - a shredded pastry laced with butter, honey, sugar and nuts - up for grabs.
The restaurant is operated by the Salim family, who want to bring a taste of Lebanese culture - big family and friend get-togethers over plates of homemade food - to the suburb. Mission accomplished.
M is for... Malaysia
Penang
(Image: Facebook - Penang Malaysian Restaurant)
It's presented itself under a couple of different monikers, but this restaurant on the fringes of the Northern Quarter has been serving up Malaysian cooking for more than a decade.
Now going by Penang (previously it was Ning, though the logos and decor are largely the same), you'll find all the obvious Malay specialities here - nasi goreng fried rice, satay skewers, sambal prawns et al.
There are also influences from neighbouring Indonesia and Thailand in its rendang curries and pad Thai noodles.
It's stayed largely unchanged for a generation, but if it ain't broke...
N is for... Nepal
The Great Kathmandu
(Image: Facebook - The Great Kathmandu)
There's such a high ratio of Nepalese restaurants on Burton Road that it's practically a tiny, very flat Himalayas.
Gurkha Grill, Namaste Nepal and The Great Kathmandu all line up in a stretch of about 100m and are all worthy of your attention - but it's the latter that's snagged all the awards.
The restaurant was founded in 1986 by Gopal Dangol, with all six of his children chipping in to create what's become one of the most successful and long-standing Nepalese restaurants in the country - its lengthy list of accolades speaks for itself.
Marinated meats cooked in a tandoor oven, weighty silver platters of curries (including their fiery khorsani), and naan breads that droop over the sides of their plate all conspire to make The Great Kathmandu so great.
O is for... Oman
Ariyadh
Oh is for oh man, there's only one country that begins with O and it's Oman...
Manchester's incredibly culturally diverse, but we thought this letter would be a write-off - until we remembered Ariyadh.
The Rusholme restaurant serves a broadly Middle Eastern menu but with a real Omani focus, which means it's the go-to (/only?) place to go for a traditional shuwa: tender lamb slow-cooked in banana leaves.
P is for... Poland
Platzki
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
A hard-to-find gem right in the heart of the city centre, Platzki's farmhouse-style restaurant earned a glowing review from the M.E.N. last year.
An ever-changing menu is plated up at the Great Northern location from an open kitchen, where rows of handmade pierogi line up along the counter.
On our visit, it was the kluski dumplings that won us over - a type of springy potato dumpling that came swimming in a mushroom sauce and under a generous scattering of green herb crumbs.
It's filling, fresh, and endlessly comforting.
Q is for... Québec
Blue Caribou Canteen
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Okay, this one's a total cop-out, but the only country beginning with Q is Qatar and we drew a blank (if you know of any Qatari restaurants, please enlighten us).
And at three times the size of France, Canada's largest province is big and culturally distinct enough enough to be its own country, so we're allowing ourselves a little creative licence here.
Based in Manchester Arndale's award-winning Food Market, Blue Caribou Canteen serves up Québécois cuisine centred around poutine - chips, cheese curds and gravy loaded with various toppings.
The menu also spans pogos (that's a Canadian corn dog), hot chicken sandwiches smothered in poutine gravy, and plenty of dishes incorporating maple syrup.
R is for... Romania
La Roberto Ristorante
You might not feel all that familiar with Romanian food - but the country's proximity to Turkey, Austria, Hungary, and even Greece has led to a cuisine that's at once loosely recognisable and exciting.
La Roberto in Hazel Grove is one of the few places you'll be able to get a taste in Manchester, even if its menu is predominately Italian.
In the Romanian section, expect sour soups, pork and cabbage. If you're stuck (or ravenous), there's a mixed platter of baked aubergines, beans, olives, feta and tomato to share.
S is for... Syria
Samir's, Stretford
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Based on a busy stretch of the A56 in Stretford, Middle Eastern restaurant Samir's is a modest spot that's easy to overlook beyond the blur of passing traffic.
But behind its unassuming frontage lies a heartwarming story of determination, and the kindness of strangers.
Owner Samir Hamwyeh arrived in Manchester with his family as refugees from the war in Syria - and with the help of their new neighbours and parishioners at a nearby church, they opened this restaurant.
The menu mixes Syrian and Middle Eastern specialities such as tabbouleh, kibbeh and falafel with charcoal-grilled chicken and kebabs.
T is for... Thailand
That's Thai
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
If we told you that the best Thai food in the region could be found in a mechanic's garage right near Strangeways, you'd probably think we were pulling your leg.
But That's Thai, headed up by chef Wan Pradit Hewitt (her husband owns the garage that shares a wall with her cafe), has enjoyed so much success with its authentic, fresh menu that it's gone on to have a second site in Oldham.
Wobbly swivel stools around a formica bar top, Thai posters on the walls, empty tins of coconut milk holding plastic chopsticks - it's minimal fuss, maximum flavour on the agenda here.
Prawns are particularly impressive - we described them as 'fat, butterflied morsels of juicy meat, curled up like commas' - doused in a ginger and garlic sauce.
U is for... USA
Old School BBQ Bus
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
It was certainly an ambitious gamble, parking a big yellow American school bus next to the A62, throwing a big tarpaulin over it and lobbing some hay bales about for seating.
There's a fine line between madness and genius, and thankfully for the Old School BBQ Bus - and for those of us who work nearby - it's a gamble that's paid off.
It's regularly packed, aided by a kids' playpark outside, and people aren't just here for novelty of eating their lunch on a burlap sack with stars and stripes flags flapping overhead.
The meat is cooked low and slow, burgers are piled high, skin-on chips are generous in number. It's a burger gaff that gives all the others a run for their money.
V is for... Vietnam
Vnam
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
The edges of Ancoats have slowly turned themselves into a hotbed of Vietnamese restaurants.
Viet Shack, Nam, Ca Phe Viet, Pho No 1 and Vnam are all clustered around Oldham Road and Greater Ancoats Street, bringing the vibrant south east Asian cuisine to life.
Vnam's enjoyed a full decade in its unit, where it specialises in pho and barbecued meats.
There's also a selection of ever-changing specials to keep you coming back for more - and another site at the University of Manchester.
W is for... Wales
Siop Shop
What started as a basement bakery beneath Common quickly grew enough to warrant its very own café - and what a spot it's turned out to be.
Siop Shop (literally translating to Shop Shop) was opened in 2017 by Iwan Roberts and Lucy Jackson, and has plenty of nods to Iwan's native Wales.
There are breakfast muffins, Welsh baked eggs (featuring leeks, naturally), daily changing salads and quiches and doughnuts.
These aren't ordinary doughnuts, either - Siop Shop's flavours have included millionaire shortbread, lemon meringue, cherry bakewell and even a collaboration bake with beer in it. You heard.
X is for... Me xico
La Casita
(Image: Facebook - La Casita Manchester)
There are no countries beginning with X. We'd managed to get quite far into this list before that dawned on us. Mexico is a bit of a stretch, but it'll have to do.
La Casita is a little neighbourhood spot in Chorlton that's quietly becoming one of the most highly-rated spots in Greater Manchester.
The authentic Mexican restaurant goes way beyond tacos and burritos (although there are plenty of those too) serving dishes like slow-cooked pork stew with green tomatoes and corn doughballs, and Aztec soup.
Y is for... Yemen
Hadramout
(Image: Facebook - Hadramout Manchester)
Floor cushions line the walls at this Yemeni restaurant, where diners sit cross-legged and share out plates of hummus, grilled meat with naan bread, and okra stew.
Hadramout sits as part of Manchester's world-famous Curry Mile, in the heart of Rusholme.
With influences coming from across the Middle East, ingredients such as lamb, chicken, tomato, onions, and plenty of spices are commonplace.
Z is for... Zimbabwe
Chakalaka
This South African bar in the Northern Quarter is named after a native spicy bean dish that's also commonly eaten in neighbouring Zimbabwe.
The tiny Oldham Street spot also serves biltong, koeksisters (fried dough soaked in a ginger and cinnamon syrup), bobotie (curried beef topped with a golden egg-based topping) and bunny chow (basically a curry served in a loaf of bread).
It's a meat-lovers' paradise, and if you're overwhelmed by choice there's a mezze board that brings together the best of the best.
Cocktails are fun and sweet - and on a two-for-one offer between 4pm and 8pm, and 10pm and closing.

You can usually hear him first - the distant rumble of a portable speaker slowly moving down Manchester’s cycle lanes.
Once you’ve seen him, he’s unmistakeable - wearing his iconic bucket hat and glasses, riding a rickety old mountain bike with an old blue Ikea bag swinging from the handlebar.
Rave tunes, rap and 80s post-punk blasts out of it as he passes. Manchester’s famous ‘boom box cyclist’ has been a cheering up the city for years.
He’s popular. Pedestrians nod and wave as he rides past and fellow bikers ring their bells in respect, while online he’s become a cult sensation.
But, despite his local fame, ‘boom box Barry’ is a bit of a mystery.
Speaking to the M.E.N., though, he was able to lay some of those mysteries to rest, confirming his real name as Barrington, that he’s in his 50’s (he wouldn’t give his exact age but pointed to the greying hairs on his beard) and that he lives by himself in the town centre.
Barrington discussed his music taste, personal life, and why he sometimes feels a little lonely in Manchester.
“I just like music, you know,” he told the M.E.N.
“I am a person who likes a diversity of music. I’ve got various collections of music. Every week I’m finding new music on the internet.
“I play [music] at home, but I found a way where I can put my speaker on and travel around on my bike.”
Strangely enough, Barrington burns his favourite tracks onto DVD and then plays them through a portable DVD player which is connected to a small speaker inside his bag.
“It’s loud,” he said with a grin.
“John Peel [the former Radio 1 DJ] is my inspiration. He used to play music on the radio. [He] got me into music way back in the 80s and I love that music. I want to travel with his music.
“I was playing him at the beginning, but now I’m playing everything!”
Barrington said that his other musical inspirations include the Chameleons and the Fall, both post-punk bands who performed on the Peel Sessions.
“You’ve probably heard [them] through my speaker!” he said, adding, “Today I’m just playing a little bit of rap.”
He added that he has no idea how long he’s been riding up and down the city centre on his bike.
“I actually don’t know, you’re the one that’s making me think now! It’s been years,” he said.
Some on social media claim that they’ve seen him over the last decade cycling across the city.
But Barrington says his journeys on his bike always have a purpose.
“I’m just going to see my mum, I like music and going from A to B.
“Music makes me happy, that’s the main thing. It’s the music. The music!”
However, despite his cheerful demeanour, Barrington told the M.E.N that his personal life sometimes takes its toll.
“My mum’s been sick for years now, so I just concentrate on [her].
“I live in the town centre and my mum lives near Moss Side, so I travel from Moss Side to the town centre often. You’ve probably seen me there.”
He said that while he probably has a lot of fans around the city, he doesn’t have many close friends.
“They appreciate it from a distance. It’s nice. They say hello. No problem. From a distance, that’s great.”
“But as for…”, he paused and motioned to our conversation.
“I’ve got a friend. His name is Louis. I meet him every Thursday in the library to talk about music and things,” he said.
“So, other than him… yeah.”
“I actually worked doing community work years ago,” Barrington added, but said that due to his mother’s health he no longer gets out that much.
“[I’ve got] a big family, but they’re always busy. Everybody’s busy, aren’t they? Some of them live in London, some live in town, one’s a teacher in Longsight, one’s working in the metal work industry,” he said.
Barrington said he’s hoping to go on holiday to Wales soon, as he enjoys escaping the city.
“All I know is that I want to go and live in the country. That’s my ultimate aim,” he said.
“[But] I look after my mum four days a week. That’s the main thing right now.
“I can’t leave my mum. But I wanna do something. If I can’t leave my mum, [I’ll] do something that I can love.
“I just love my music, that’s it. Simple innit.”
And with that, Barrington the boom box cyclist picked up his bike and rode off into the distance.

Pep Guardiola's side have been excluded from all European competitions, pending appeal, following "serious breaches" of UEFA regulations regarding Financial Fair Play and sponsorship information submitted between 2012 and 2016. The possible ban has also raised the prospect of the Premier League - whose own investigation into the Blues remains ongoing - giving City a domestic punishment.
Mourinho, who described finishing second with Manchester United, 19 points behind City, as one of his greatest managerial achievements, could benefit from any City problem as any ban for next season would mean that fifth place in the Premier League will be enough to earn a spot in the Champions League.
Asked about his former rivals, the mischievous manager could not resist referring back to the season where the three-time champion finished runner-up.
"My view is that I didn't lose one single minute analysing what UEFA and FIFA, they have to analyse. If I go into that, I have to ask if the team that finished second in 2018 is going to be champions, yes or no?" he said after his side had secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over relegation-battling Aston Villa.
"That would be interesting but joking apart, I just wait calmly. Fourth or fifth, I just think about doing the best we can."
On the decision, he added: "I don’t think it is about huge decisions or small decisions. The rule, the law, it is or it isn't. From what I got is that UEFA punish them but they have the chance to appeal.
"I think until the appeal finishes, Manchester City have the benefit of the doubt. In the end of the process we will see if they are punished or not. I have nothing more to say about that. I don't know."
The win over Villa leaves Spurs in fifth place after 26 games, 11 points behind City - who they beat a fortnight ago - and five ahead of United; both Manchester teams have a game in hand on the North London club, with United at Chelsea on Monday night and City hosting West Ham on Wednesday.

And his Nigerian compatriot Kanu, who was a prolific Premier League goal-scorer in his day playing for West Brom and Portsmouth, believes that Ighalo has the attributes to replace Lukaku.
“Yes he can replace him," Kanu told Goal. "If you watch him play, you’d find out that he is strong and can score goals.
“What he needs is the service. In this team, I am sure his game will improve because the team has great players.
“Despite playing in the Chinese league, Ighalo is not a player you would look down on and say he is not a good player.
“I believe in him and I know he can deliver if given the chance. Bringing him to Old Trafford means that those in the club believe in his ability, and we have to respect that.
“I don’t think he will not disappoint because he will give them value for their money.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that Ighalo's arrival had already given United a boost, as the new striker finally trained with his new teammates over the weekend.
"That’s going to be great for us, to not just add an extra body, but a personality, someone who can help and someone who scores goals," he said.
"It gives the group a boost.”

Research by the team of scientists, overseen by Professor Richard Brazier from Exeter University found benefits, including in the flood-prone community of East Budleigh.
Beavers constructed six dams upstream of the village, which had measurably and significantly reduced peak flood flows through the community, the report said.
It prompted Labour MP Angela Rayner to tweet in support of the project as beavers reduce pollution and alleviate flooding.
Evidence from another trial in north Devon, where beavers in an enclosure have built 13 dams and ponds, shows they also play a role in filtering soil, manure, slurry and fertilisers from farmland.
Beavers flooded land at five sites, including a field with an organic potato crop, while there were also incidents of the animals eating maize and windfall apples and trees in riverside orchards.
The researchers said the majority of issues can be addressed by moves such as installing the beaver deceivers, which allow water to flow through a dam without the animals detecting and plugging the leak, or removing dams.
Devon Wildlife Trust’s Mark Elliott, who leads the River Otter Beaver Trial, said "I think we've all been surprised by these amazing animals’ ability to thrive, once again, in our wetland ecosystems.
"It also shows their unrivalled capacity to breathe new life into our rivers and wetlands, very few of which are in good health."
He said the key to success "will be to provide support for all landowners to make space for wetlands on their land – ensuring those who enable these far-reaching benefits to be provided are also able to manage their thriving rural businesses."

The City boss has yet to speak out on UEFA's announcement on Friday night that they have given the club a two year ban from European competitions due to 'serious breaches' of Financial Fair Play rules. Guardiola will no doubt be asked about is in his post match press conference on Wednesday but Mikel Arteta has given some insight into the mood at the CFA.
"I was shocked, and being in contact with Pep and the people at the club that I know, I feel for them because I know they are suffering. The admiration and love that I have for Pep, I know how hard they work, and I hope a positive thing can come from this," Guardiola's former assistant said.
