Pep Guardiola can "win it all" with Manchester City this season, according to former Barcelona playmaker Xavi.
Xavi was part of Guardiola's treble-winning side at Barcelona in 2009 and the pair won three La Liga titles together before Guardiola headed to Bayern Munich where the 45-year-old also secured the Bundesliga title in each of his three years at the club.
Guardiola has got off to a 100 per cent start since taking over City, steering them to the top of the Premier League and victory in their opening Champions League fixture.
The club will also begin their EFL Cup campaign against Swansea on Wednesday night and Xavi believes there is no reason why City cannot win every competition they are involved in during his former boss' first season in charge at the Etihad Stadium.
"Pep is a winner," Xavi told Goal. "He will want to win it all this season, and with the squad Manchester City have there is no reason he can't achieve that.
"He won the treble with Barcelona and he can win three or four trophies this season. He will want to win it all, of course, the league and Champions League are special - but his ambition will be to win every competition.
"Manchester City don't have a second team - it's unfair to call them that. Of course Pep will make changes in the domestic cup competitions, but the players he will be bringing in will be world class international players - that is the strength of the Manchester City squad. You cannot win multiple trophies with 11 players, you need a squad."
Despite enjoying a successful start to life in Manchester Guardiola remains in an ongoing war of words with Yaya Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk, insisting Toure will not play until the agent apologises for public criticism of Guardiola.
City play Swansea again on Saturday looking to maintain their winning run in the Premier League before facing Celtic in the Champions League four days later.
