What is The Pep Guardiola vs Javier Tebas Controversy
Pep Guardiola is one of the finest managers in the world. Furthermore, he has won several trophies managing teams in Germany, Spain, and England. Pep is currently the manager of Manchester City and he lifted the trophy of Premier league in 2021. Guardiola was the manager of Barcelona and won the treble with the team. However, Tebas was appointed as the President of La Liga, one year after Guardiola left Barca.
In recent times, Tebas has raised questions on Pep’s management and tactics. He also asked about the impacts of state clubs on wage inflation, demographics, the impact of pay-TV, China, and of the acquittal in CAS. Basically, Tebas is concerned about the huge amount of money City spends on players.
Manchester City spent almost €158 million in the 2020-2021 season on transfers. Moreover, this was not the first time Pep spent this huge amount of money on a transfer window. However, this resulted him well as he won two trophies, including the league and reaching the Champions League final for the first time.
In a recent interaction with Football, Espana Pep exchanged some words on Tebas and asked him to sell the product better in other countries. He added “There is [Manchester] United, City, Chelsea or Liverpool, economically strong clubs with owners who want to invest – who do not want any profit but to reinvest so that the club can continue to grow for the fans. What problem is there?”
Currently, Manchester City is one of the strongest sides in Europe. And, Pep will try to get the trophy of the Champions League which he failed to win in 2021.
