Joao Cancelo has recently spoken out about his strained relationship with Pep Guardiola during his time at Manchester City. The Portuguese full-back was sent on loan to Bayern Munich last year after losing his place in City’s starting lineup. Reports suggested that there were issues between Cancelo and Guardiola dating back to the 2021/2022 season. Despite this, Cancelo has expressed his gratitude for his time working with Guardiola and chose not to divulge the specifics of their disagreements.

Despite the reported disagreements between Cancelo and Guardiola, the player has remained focused on his football and has avoided creating unnecessary drama. Cancelo, who is currently on loan at Barcelona, has expressed his desire to make a permanent move to the club in the summer transfer window.
