Guardiola doc highlights why he had to leave City after expletive rants

He was ready to leave...

His reign saw unprecedented success for The Blues, with six Premier League titles, five League Cups, three FA Cups, and a Champions League.

While they are massive boots to fill for Enzo Maresca, but a new Amazon Prime documentary series about Guardiola shows that it was probably time for him to leave.

But perhaps the most incredible outburst of the show came after a heavily-changed City's 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen last season, where the manager's frustrations came out in an expletive-ridden rant.

In a team talk after the game, Guardiola said: “Maybe I should apologise for making 10 changes. It’s impossible to pay football without courage, but f***ing h*ll, guys. Everyone has to show, ‘I am the best, I’m going to show this f***ing b*****d manager that I am better than the others’.

“I feel f***ing stupid. I arrive here at 8am and I stay hours and hours to try to find something that arrives here in your heart.

“I want to transmit that I love my job, and I want to give it to you, and you don’t give it back, guys. And do you know what is going to happen? You will have another manager.

“When I see one sad f***ing face at the end of the season, I kill you. Guys, I kill you. When I see your f***ing face complaining about something, my decisions, I f***ing kill you.

“When I say, ‘Hi,’ you say, ‘Hi,’ to me. When I say, ‘Hi,’ and hug you, you hug me. Because I work for you, I live my life, my divorce, my family are away and everything, for all of you.

“And what do you give back? The f***ing performance you have done, all of you. It’s a disgrace, guys. F***ing hell.”
