Spaniard Pep Guardiola is considered one of the best and most successful coaches in the history of football. He has won many titles with Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Manchester City and broke many records. Players from all over the world aspire to play under his leadership, but some stars have another opinion.

In this report, the website "Sportskeeda" highlights a number of players who had trouble with the Spanish coach, and had to move to other clubs because of his choices that made them on the sidelines.

Dante (Bayern Munich)

The Brazilian Dante, along with Jerome Boateng, was the central defense duo in Bayern Munich when Pep Guardiola came, and they led the team to winning the European Champions League in 2013 with German coach Jupp Heynckes.

Dante had two successful seasons under Pep Guardiola, before moving to Wolfsburg in the 2015 summer transfer window.

Later the Brazilian defender revealed that he did not like Pep Guardiola because he was not a "good human being".

In this context, Dante said, "He does not talk to you. As a player, you do not know what situation you are in. There are world-class coaches from a tactical point of view but they are not good on a human level. That is the case with Guardiola."

Yaya Toure (Barcelona and Manchester City)

The story of the feud between Yaya Toure and Pep Guardiola began in 2008 at FC Barcelona.

The Ivorian signed with the team in 2007, and he started his career with great enthusiasm and presented great levels, but things changed little by little after Guardiola took over the team.

Toure played more than 50 games under Pep, but there were reports of problems between the player and the coach, before the Ivorian star left the club in 2010.

Toure accused the Spanish coach of racism, saying, "When I saw that Guardiola had a lot of problems with African players, I asked myself several questions. On the day he forms a team of 5 non-naturalized African players, I promise I will send him a cake!"

But Touré later retracted those comments, telling The Atlantic: "When you make a mistake or people use your name to do some things you have to correct it. It was a mistake. I want to apologize for what happened, I want to apologize for everything. wrong".

After Manchester City signed Guardiola in 2016, the duo met again, and leaks reported that the relationship between them was not good, which was confirmed by the Ivorian transfer from City in 2018 after 8 full seasons in its ranks.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Barcelona)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been the most outspoken player about his problems with Pep Guardiola, with the Swede not hesitating to stress on more than one occasion that the Spanish coach chooses his squad with too much favour.

Ibrahimovic signed with Barcelona in 2009 from Inter Milan, and had a key place in Guardiola's squad, but he quickly got out of his calculations for tactical reasons, and was loaned to Milan in the summer of 2010. Ibrahimovic attacked Pep Guardiola on one occasion, saying, "He was not the worst coach I worked on." under his leadership, but he was not the most mature, because it is a man who can solve his problems."

Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona)

Eto'o was a star in Barcelona before the arrival of Pep Guardiola, but the young coach at the time was not interested in staying in the team.

Despite the brilliance of the Cameroonian star in his first season with Guardiola - scoring 46 goals in all competitions - he did not continue the journey with the Catalan club and was used in the exchange deal with Inter to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Years later, Eto'o spoke of his time under the Spaniard: "I love him as a coach, but not as a person. I learned to play football with him. He explains things better than anyone else. He is the best, but of course he loses matches."

Joe Hart (Manchester City)

When he took charge of Manchester City, Guardiola made it clear that he did not intend to rely on goalkeeper Joe Hart in the starting lineup, and was insisting on contracting a new goalkeeper at any cost.

The English goalkeeper was surprised by the decision, and went on loan to the Italian club Torino.

With Chilean Claudio Bravo failing to provide the required level in City, there were calls to return Joe Hart to the team, but Pep preferred to sign Brazilian Ederson.

Joe Hart later spoke about Guardiola's decision, saying: "I don't care about his reasons or intentions because it doesn't make a difference to me. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to stay at Manchester City and not move abroad, but it was a very good opportunity that I couldn't turn down." .
