Pep Guardiola Labelled a ‘Snake’ by Ex-Man City Star as Wife Calls Him ‘Wicked’

Pep Guardiola has been labelled a 'snake' by one of his former players in a stinging outburst.

Guardiola has enjoyed a legendary career as a coach, managing some of the very best players of his era, including Lionel Messi.

But not every player has had a great relationship with the Spaniard.

One of them being Yaya Toure, who had a strained relationship with Guardiola following their spells together at Barcelona and Manchester City.

Toure played under the 54-year-old at Barca before reuniting with him at Man City.

He became a peripheral figure at the Camp Nou after falling down the pecking order following the emergence of Sergio Busquets, who graduated from the club's famed youth academy before breaking into the first-team.

It was the same situation when he joined Man City.

Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk, even weighed in on their feud and claimed a 'curse' was cast on Guardiola.

The Ivorian has since reignited his beef with Guardiola by branding his former boss a 'snake'.

He also revealed that his wife shares the same sentiment as she called him 'wicked' in a brutal assessment.

Speaking on YouTube channel ZACK, Toure exclaimed: "I don’t see a man, I see a snake.

"The Barcelona coach calls me back then and says, ‘You have to come back [to Barcelona], it’s important’.

"My wife says to me, ‘Are you going to listen to that nonsense? He treated you like dirt, and now he wants you to stay, and you’re going to stay? Let’s go to Manchester’.

"The guy didn’t play me all year, and at the end of the year, I shine at the [2010] World Cup, and he brings me to Barcelona."

Toure added: "My wife would tell me about him. 'He’s not a man, he’s wicked'. She sees him as a negative person."

Despite his wretched relationship with Guardiola, the legendary midfielder had incredible success at both Barca and Man City.

He made 118 appearances for Barca and helped the Catalan giants to La Liga and Champions League glory.

And at Man City, he won three Premier League titles and bagged 82 goals.
