Pep Guardiola ‘is a zero as a man’ says agent Mino Raiola

Mino Raiola who is an agent for Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, has launched verbal assaults on Manchester City manager Pep  Guardiola. The Dutch agent has disliked Guardiola since he forced Zlatan Ibrahimovic – who was his client – out of Barcelona back in 2011. 'Pep Guardiola? As a trainer he is fantastic, as a man, he is a zero. 'He is a classical priest: do what I say, not what I do. If Manchester City win the Champions League this season it will emphasise what a good coach he is – but I'll hate it.' Raiola said: 'Guardiola told Zlatan to go to him if he ever had any problems or complaints, but then he just ignored him and wasn't playing him. He didn't even say hello to Zlatan. 'Guardiola did the same to Maxwell who is a lovely lad. So I told Zlatan to go and park his Ferrari in the manager's spot!'
