If you thought that was the end of the Pep Guardiola bashing you would be wrong.
On Tuesday, Yaya Toure’s agent Dimitry Seluk has given an interview with Russian website Sport 24 and has been absolutely scathing about the Manchester City manager.
Seluk: “Yaya knows Guardiola like no other. He worked with him both in Barcelona and in Manchester City. With all the desire, nothing good about the human qualities of Guardiola can be said. You can start with the fact that he came to Manchester City in a nasty manner. The transfer was announced at a time when Pellegrini, his co-worker in the coaching department, was still at the helm of the team…”
“If you assign my grandmother to Bayern, the team will still become the champion!”
Seluk continues: “Guardiola was afraid that Pellegrini would win the championship and other tournaments that season, as he did before he came to Bayern Munich, when Jupp Heynckes won all that is possible. Guardiola could not repeat the achievements of Heynckes, being the next three years at the helm of the best German club, which without Guardiola again leads and wins. If you assign my grandmother to Bayern, the team will still become the champion!”
Yaya Toure’s agent continues to attack the Manchester City boss: “Even at Barcelona there was friction between Yaya and Guardiola. Just like Eto’o, Ibrahimovic and many other players. If Sheikh Mansour and the president of the club Khaldoon Al Mubarak think that Guardiola loves them, they are deeply mistaken. He came to the club to make millions off Arab billionaires.”
