Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has admitted that he has little interest in reading about his managerial rivals, joking that he “can’t be f*****” with seeing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in the papers.
The pair have been adversaries for half a decade now, first meeting in the opposite dugouts in the Bundesliga after Guardiola took charge of Bayern Munich in 2013 while Klopp was Borussia Dortmund supremo.
The Spaniard later followed the German to the Premier League, taking the reins at the Etihad Stadium a year after his rival was handed the top position at Anfield.
