The Spanish boss revealed the real reason why the Ivory Coast midfielder has been an outcast during his debut season with the Citizens in a fiery press conference.

Yaya Toure's future at Manchester City will be solved with an apology. Not from the player or his coach, but from his agent, Dimitri Seluk.

Prior to their League Cup match against Swansea City, Spanish boss Pep Guardiola finally came clean about why Yaya Touré wasn't featuring for the Citizens as much as he did in recent years. Guardiola admitted that Toure's skills could be useful for the team, but he couldn't stand an agent trying to tell him how to do his job.

Back when the Sky Blues cut Touré from the UEFA Champions League squad, agent Dimitri Seluk blasted Pep or leaving his client without UCL minutes, which infuriated Guardiola even further.

"If Manchester City doesn't win the UEFA Champions League, I hope Pep has the ba**s to admit he was wrong in humiliating a great player such as Yaya Touré," the agent stated on September 4th.

Here's Guardiola's reply to Seluk's words.
