It
is no surprise that Pep Guardiola has had it tough with top players of the
clubs he has managed so far in his career. Since Pep’s appointment as
Manchester City coach, the Spanish tactician has already had it with some of
the best players in the team signalling that they might not fit into his ideals.
Joe Hart and Yaya Toure are already feeling the heat and from all indications
the exit might be the next options for both players as their importance to the
club seems meaningless to Guardiola. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Eight
