Sweden Zlatan Ibrahimović Spain Pep Guardiola 2009–present Ibrahimović controversies [169]
Cameroon Samuel Eto'o 2008–2019 In 2014, Eto'o crticised Guardiola for his lack of "respect" towards him during their time together at Barcelona during the 2008–09 treble–winning season, adding that his manager barely spoke to him and "never had the courage to say things to [his] face." Although Eto'o had a prolific and successful season, he had several disagreements with his manager: Eto'o – along with Ronalidnho and Deco – was initially not part of Guardiola's plans, and was encouraged to acccept a transfer offer from another club, but was ultimately allowed to remain with the team. The pair also clashed over Eto'os role within the team in comparison to Lionel Messi's, with the striker demanding an apology from his coach, stating: "I said to Guardiola [that] you'll have to apologise to me because it's me that will make Barcelona win, not Messi." Eto'o also accused Guardiola of lying to the press, and was critical of the manager's player–management skills given his lack of coaching experience at professional level. He also reportedly did not approve of Guardiola's suggestions regarding his playing style as a striker, telling him that he was "not normal." In the summer of 2009, Eto'o was informed by his lawyer that he had been transfer listed by Barcelona; he eventually left the club in an exchange deal with Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimović, going on to win another treble with the Italian club the following season. Upon his retiement in 2019, when asked about the best coach of his career, Eto'o stated: "I love [Guardiola] as a coach, but not as a person," also admitting that his former manager had apologised to him, however. In 2022, Eto'o also contrasted Guardiola's style with that of his subsequent manager at Inter, José Mourinho, whom he praised for being "upfront." [170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178]
Ivory Coast Yaya Touré 2008–present Touré began to be left out of the starting midfield in favour of Barcelona youth product Sergio Busquets, and was increasingly deployed in defence by Guardiola during the 2008–09 season. His playing time was more limted the following season, leading to his departure to Manchester City in 2010. Touré commented that after receiving an offer from the English club, his manager no longer spoke to him, which cemented his decision to leave Barcelona. Upon Guardiola's appointment as Manchester City's manager for the 2016–17 season, Touré further clashed with the coach when he began to be left out of the first team, accusing him of favouring players who were deferential towards him, and of being jealous of Touré and of wanting revenge against him. He also criticised him for being too rigid, which made it difficult for the two of them to reconcile following arguments. Tensions between the two culminated following Touré's departure from the club in 2018, when the midfielder accused Guardiola of having problems with African players in an interview with France Football; Guardiola denied any allegations of racism however, and Touré later stated in a 2021 interview with The Athletic that he regretted his comments and had made a mistake, and retracted this statement, even sending a letter of apology to Guardiola, but had not yet received a response.

Italy Luca Toni Netherlands Louis van Gaal 2009–2017 During Van Gaal's spell as Bayern Munich manager, his relationship with striker Luca Toni deteriorated when he pulled the Italian's ear in front of the squad because he objected to his slouched body position at the lunch table. He later left the striker out of the first team, relegating him to the amateur team in order to regain his fitness when Toni left the Allianz Arena at half-time upon being substituted against Schalke. Toni was fined by the club and refused to apologise to the manager, and began looking for a new club. [118][184]
Netherlands Mark van Bommel During Van Gaal's spell as Bayern Munich manager, he relieved Van Bommel of the captaincy, and also informed the defensive midfielder that he would face competition for a starting role from younger players, as he wanted to bring more youth into the side. This led to a conflict between the two of them, which resulted in Van Bommel's departure to AC Milan in 2011. [118]
Morocco Mounir El Hamdaoui Netherlands Frank de Boer 2010–2011 During the 2010–11 season, Ajax manager Frank de Boer substituted El Hamdaoui at half-time in the semi-final of KNVB Cup against RKC Waalwijk, as he was displeased with his performance, despite scoring a goal.

Mourinho was also critical of Casillas's limitations with the ball at his feet, and accused him of being a snitch, which resulted in divisions among the club's fans, players, and staff. Casillas belived that Mourinho disapporoved of him going to speak with Carles Puyol, the captain of the club's rivals, Barcelona, in order to ease tensions between the players in the Spanish national team. Real Madrid later accused Mourinho of showing a lack of respect towards Casillas, and the manager left the club at the end of the season. [187][188][189][190][191][192]
Italy Mario Balotelli 2008–2010 The two frequntly clashed during their time at Inter Milan. Balotelli revealed that Mourinho once kicked him off the team bus on the way to the airport for a match in Catania over an argument between the two of them. [193]

Italy Roberto Mancini 2007–2013 The two frequently clashed, in particular during their time at Manchester City; one incident in training in January 2013, concerning a bad tackle, led to the two of them to be involved in a physical altercation. Later that month, Balotelli left for AC Milan on loan. [194][195][196]

Alex criticised his manager on Twitter, questioning his decisions and accusing him of being jealous; consequently, many of the club's fans called for the manager's dismissal. In a 2–0 loss to Kasımpaşa on 29 September 2012, Alex was substituted and did not go sit with his manager on the bench, but in the stands; the following month, he was demoted to training with the reserve team, which led to him terminating his contract with the club.

They accused Gabon of illegally occupying Equatoguinean territory. And we had to play against them in a qualifier for the Olympic Games. By going to play, you were almost doing a state mission. Equatoguineans had gone to Gabon, for many years, to do the worst and lowest paid jobs. And winning a match on their field was vindicating the role of the Equatoguineans. It was quite a challenge...
