Pep Guardiola has hit out at the head of the Argentine Football Association after he claimed the Manchester City boss has a "fat wallet".
Claudio Tapia, the AFA president, claimed this week that he discovered that Guardiola's salary was unmatchable as he attempted to recruit the Catalan to replace Jorge Sampaoli, who was sacked following Argentina's disappointing World Cup campaign.
"We tried to find out about getting Guardiola but it was very difficult," Tapia told TyC Sports. "Very difficult... a fat wallet. Yes, we found out something. It was impossible."
Guardiola, however, has dismissed the claims, insisting that he was never contacted by anybody at the AFA, and that Tapia could not and should not have mentioned his salary.
