Yaya Toure’s Manchester City career is over unless he apologises – Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says midfielder Yaya Toure will never play for the club again unless his agent tenders an apology for his outburst following Toure’s omission from City’s Champions League squad.

Toure has only featured for Guardiola once this season.

Seluk while speaking on Toure’s Champions League omission by telling Guardiola said if City “don’t win the Champions League then I hope that Pep has got the balls to say that he was wrong to humiliate a great player like Yaya”.

In his reaction Guardiola said dropping Toure was a difficult decision to make.

“It was so difficult for me to leave him [Toure] out of the Champions League, so difficult. I know him and I know he’s a good guy. It was difficult as well for Alexi Garcia.

“But the day after his agent [Seluk] spoke and in that moment Yaya is out.

“Unless Mr Dmitri Seluk comes back in the press conference or (speaks to) his friends in the media – because he has not the courage to call me – go to the media and say he apologises to Manchester City, firstly, secondly to his team-mates and after the trainer. When that happens Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games.

“I cannot imagine in my day when a player’s agent would go to the media and speak against Johan Cruyff. Maybe it’s the new era but I’m old generation, and an old generation agent has to make his players his job and the coach his job. Today agents believe they are more than they are. If you have a problem, we can talk. Until he speaks, Yaya isn’t going to play.”

Toure retired from international football on Tuesday.
