Pep Guardiola can sit tight while waiting for Yaya's agent to apologize.
Earlier today, the Catalan boss demanded an apology from Dimitri Seluk, Toure's agent, who accused him of "humiliating" his client after dropping him from the UEFA Champions League squad. Not only did the Russian agent take a stand and defended his "freedom of speech", he hit back at Guardiola and demanded him to apologize to all of those he's snubbed during his coaching career.
"He has reacted to what I have said about him by punishing Yaya again. But I'm not surprised. Will I apologize? Well, I have learned that you must never say never. But will Pep apologize to Yaya? Will he apologize to Joe Hart or Manuel Pellegrini?" Seluk inquired.
Guardiola hasn't lost a single official match since he took over as Manchester City's boss back in July.
Guardiola is regarded by many as one of the best coaches in the business, but some former players and colleagues think otherwise. The Russian agent seems to agree with the latter, as he looked back at some episodes in which Guardiola got in trouble with some of his "employees".
"Pep doesn't want players with personality. He only wants players who are scared of him and will do what he says. The first thing he did when he arrived at City was to pick a fight with Yaya and Joe Hart, two of the club's biggest players. He was the same at Barcelona," Seluk stated.
Before the interview concluded, Seluk gave Guardiola some advice on how he can be considered the best in the world without having great players around.
"When Guardiola left Bayern there were a lot of happy people there once he had gone. He wasn't popular. If Pep wants to prove himself as a great manager, then he should go to Zaragoza or Sunderland. Let's see how good he is when he doesn't take over a great team and hasn't got half-a-billion pounds to spend," the agent concluded.
Manchester City will face Swansea this Wednesday in a League Cup tie.
