Zlatan Ibrahimovic has publicly ripped into Pep Guardiola once again, and he didn’t hold back with his scathing attack. The Man United striker made these remarks a few days after the two crossed paths in the Manchester Derby.
Speaking to Sky Sports Italia, the Swede revisited the topic of his relationship with the Spaniard. Zlatan has been vocal with his disliking for the former Barcelona boss, and he did it again, labeling the manager as “the most immature” coach he has worked under.
“I'd walk into a room and he'd walk out. I'd go to meet him and he'd go somewhere else. I understood that there was something beyond football,” the attacker stated (as per the Daily Mail).
“The problem was his, it was he who hadn't solved the problem with me. I remember on my first day, he told me that the Barcelona players didn't turn up to training in Ferraris or Porsches.
“He'd already judged me then, but if you don't know a person then you can't judge them. I had my experience with him, I don't know about others.
“I read the same thing had happened to (Mario) Mandzukic and (Samuel) Eto'o. He wasn't the worst coach I'd worked under, but he was certainly the most immature because a man solves his problems.”
Their history dates back to their time together at Camp Nou. Ibrahimovic joined Pep’s Blaugrana side in 2009 and began life very well, but his form dipped due to “changed system and tactics”. The player then spent substantial time on the bench before being shipped off to AC Milan after one season.
The striker also claimed that he questioned Guardiola’s tactics only to be dropped from the starting eleven. Since then, the 36-year-old has been a critic of the Spaniard.
This recent attack by the Red Devils ace could be in response to the teasing he endured from members of Pep’s backroom staff in the 2-1 loss to the Citizens. According to Marca, they reportedly told Zlatan: “Ibra, you talk a lot but you move a little.”
Both Zlatan and Guardiola will be on duty on Wednesday, as their two clubs resume action in the Premier League this midweek. United hosts Bournemouth with an eye for victory, while City travels to Swansea with the opportunity to increase their 11-point lead.
