Meet Matt Peet - the best head coach in Britain

Despite Man City's Champions League humiliation, only one other head coach in British sport can claim to have enjoyed the kind of trophy-laden success that Pep Guardiola has in recent years - Wigan Warriors Head Coach, Matt Peet.

Mark takes Gabby north, to The Brick Community Stadium - home of the all-conquering Wigan Warriors - for an exclusive interview with the man who's won seven trophies in three years.

The life-long Wigan fan, who never played professional rugby league, has the sport in a chokehold following last season's historic quadruple but how does he intend to keep them there? How has he used philosophy and religion to shape the team's unique culture? And is he as miserable as he looks when they win?

Plus Mark and Gabby react to Man City's Champions League exit and more.
