Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has described new manager Manuel Pellegrini as an "unbelievable" leader.
City will begin the 2013-14 campaign under the Chilean boss following the club's decision to sack Roberto Mancini a year to the day that he guided them to Premier League title success.
"Unbelievable, great things, his ability to manage is unbelievable and he's doing fantastically well," the Daily Mail quotes Toure as saying.
"We are all focused on him and trying to understand what he wants us to deliver and what he wants us to do on the pitch.
"He's an unbelievable guy, a very good guy, and dedicated to his work, and you can see his commitment. He's a very good choice for Man City and I hope he's going to bring a lot of trophies to Man City."
City will also start the campaign with new signings Fernandinho, Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic.
