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. Guardiola had previously stated that City would even sell Cancelo to rival Manchester United if necessary. Cancelo’s approach to his relationship with Guardiola has been commendable, with a focus on gratitude and moving forward.
Cancelo’s influence on the game has been recognized, with his innovative inverted full-back position being credited for changing the face of football. He was considered one of City’s best players before his loan moves and has been praised for his contributions to the team. Despite any differences with Guardiola, Cancelo has chosen to stay positive and focus on his career, rather than engaging in public rifts.
