Pep Guardiola has laughed off former England manager Fabio Capello's claim that he is 'arrogant' and has done 'enormous damage to football'.

Capello pulled no punches in his brutal assessment of Guardiola, arguing that the Spaniard too often wishes to be the 'main character', citing some of his experimental tactical approaches in big games.

The two worked with one another in the 2002-03 season, when Capello managed Roma and Guardiola played for the Serie A side for one year.

Yet, although there seems to be no love lost from Capello towards the Man City boss, Guardiola issued a dismissive response to his former manager's verdict.
