Costa enjoyed a successful season under Guardiola at Bayern, scoring seven goals and claiming 12 assists in his debut season, and he has nothing but praise for his former coach.
Costa told Globo Esporte .
"You cannot compare Pep to any Brazilian coach," he added.
"If you put all Brazilian coaches together, you would get Pep. One has motivational skills, another is tactically strong. But Pep has it all.
"Pep has the magic touch. He breathes football. He still played himself quite recently. Pep always keeps inventing new things. He is magic. I hope he can win the Champions League with City."
He also went further to rule out speculations linking him to join Pep at City.
"Would I be open to City if Pep called? It's something he has in his contract, a clause that says he cannot sign any players from Bayern,"
"I am in a situation where I could stay at Bayern for a long time. The club's philosophy is to keep players at Bayern for a long time. I am happy at the prospect of enjoying a long career here.
