Raiola: Guardiola is an absolute zero, a coward
Ibrahimovic's agent has hit out at former Barcelona coach Pep
Super agent Mino Raiola has launched a scathing attack on Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola. In quotes published by The Mirror he called the former Barcelona boss "a coward" but did admit that he's good at his trade.
The difference between Raiola and Guardiola stem back to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's time at Barça. ,
“Pep Guardiola, the coach, is fantastic," Raiola said. "As a person he’s an absolute zero. He’s a coward, a dog.
“He’s a classic priest. ‘Do as I tell you -- don’t do what I do....’ If Manchester City win the Champions League this season it will emphasise what a good coach he is -- but I’ll hate it.”
He also spoke about Guardiola's relationship with Ibrahimovic: "He told Zlatan to go to him if he ever had any problems or complaints. But then he just ignored him and wasn’t playing him. He didn’t even say: ‘Hello’ to Zlatan.
“Guardiola did the same to Maxwell who is a lovely lad -- so I told Zlatan to go and park his Ferrari in the manager’s spot!”
