The world's top manager, Pep Guardiola (53), manager of Manchester City, has been targeted.

However, the one who targeted Pep is also the prominent manager Fabio Capello (79). Capello won the Serie A Manager of the Year award in 2005 and was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame in 2013. He spent a glorious time with four Serie A titles. In his later years, he faced failures with the Russian national team and Jiangsu Suning in the Chinese Super League and has not had a coaching role since 2018.

Capello, in an interview with Spain's 'El Mundo,' said, "I admired Guardiola as a manager. Guardiola always wanted to be the protagonist. His Barcelona team ruined football," as he opened fire. Capello and Guardiola are known to have a poor relationship, sparking verbal confrontations as managers.

Capello stated, "Do you know why I dislike Guardiola? It's his arrogance. The only season he won with Manchester City was not strange. He always wanted to be the protagonist in Manchester and Munich. Because of his arrogance, he has been unable to win the Champions League multiple times."

Capello has lost to Guardiola several times in the Champions League. He said, "Everyone spent 10 years following Pep. That ruined Italian football. Many people followed Pep's football, and the game became boring. He is too arrogant and conceited."

Guardiola, who heard Capello's remarks, appears largely unfazed. He said, "I pay attention to what people say. This is not the first time Capello said I ruined Italian football. I am not good enough to ruin Italian football," responding with humor.

Guardiola mentioned, "It doesn't hurt at all. I'm not disappointed. I simply find joy in learning football day by day as a spectator, watching good teams like Atlético and Liverpool. Competing in the Champions League is something special. We did not perform well this season, but we can do better next time," showing a relaxed attitude.

Guardiola is a manager who competes with Sir Alex Ferguson for the title of the greatest manager of all time. He has led every team he has coached, including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, to victory. With two trebles to his name, he is a figure leading the latest tactical trends in football.

Recently, as Manchester City has not performed as expected, Guardiola is suffering from stress and even self-harm. Rumors are swirling that he could be dismissed.
