Manchester City FC news: Yaya Toure launches scathing attack on Pep Guardiola

Yaya Toure has launched an extraordinary attack on Pep Guardiola following his departure from Manchester City.

The Ivory Coast midfielder has accused the City manager of seeking “revenge” against him, claimed his coaching reputation is “a myth” and suggested he "has problems" with African players.

Toure, who joined City in 2010, was key player for the club for a number of years but was reduced to a bit-part role following Guardiola's arrival at the Etihad in 2016.

The pair had previously fallen out during their time together at Barcelona, when Guardiola had deemed Toure surplus to requirements.
