The former Barcelona boss replaced Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad, and during his years at Bayern, he converted a few players from their original positions like David Alaba and Philipp Lahm.
Meanwhile, Fernandinho has mainly played in midfield for City since he joined them, but it seems Guardiola is looking to use him in different positions.
"I think Fernandinho can play in 10 positions," Guardiola said at a news conference.
"He has the quality to play wherever. He's a quick, fast player, so intelligent, aggressive and strong in the air.
"He could play at centre back. He has the quality to create good build-up play. We think he can play there.
"I like midfielders to play at centre back
because they can play good passes."
Guardiola is already loving life at City and has nothing but praise for his players' attitude.
"I want to say thank you so, so much to my players for the way they train, the way they try to understand me," he added.
"Every manager has their own ideas from the beginning to speak, to train, to know the way they want to live. That’s all.
"For the coaches it’s impossible to achieve a victory when the player doesn’t want it but that is not the case – they are great human beings and great players."
