Zlatan Ibrahimovic launches stinging attack on ‘spineless coward’ Pep Guardiola as he opens up on bitter feud
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC labelled Pep Guardiola a “spineless coward” as he continued his feud with his former manager.
Ibrahimovic, 42, spent one season under the Spanish coach at the Nou Camp – the 2009/10 campaign.
He scored 21 goals in 45 games for Barcelona, but was then farmed out on loan to AC Milan the following season, before joining the Italian giants permanently.
Over the years, Ibrahimovic has often taken aim at Guardiola, attacking his credentials as a coach.
And he has now spoken about parking his Ferrari outside Guardiola’s office after the manager banned him from bringing it to training.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ibrahimovic said: “Remember, the players here do not come with Ferraris.
“What did I do? Of course. I brought my f***ing Ferrari.
“I yelled: ‘You haven’t got any b***s!’ and worse than that I added: ‘You can go to hell!'”
Ibrahimovic also opened up about the aftermath of Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final defeat to Inter Milan in 2010.
The Catalan giants beat Jose Mourinho‘s Inter 1-0 at the Nou Camp, but were still eliminated having lost the first leg 3-1 in Italy.

Ibrahimovic was furious after going out, but has criticised Guardiola for his response to the loss.
In his autobiography, he said: “I completely lost it, and you might have expected Guardiola to say a few words in response, but he’s a spineless coward.
“He just picked up the metal box, like a little caretaker, and then left, never to mention it again, not a word.”
After departing Barcelona, Ibrahimovic went on to play for the likes of AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
He hung up his boots in June after a second spell with Milan.
And he boasts incredible stats from his 24-year career.
The prolific Swede scored 573 goals in 988 appearances for club and country.
He also won a remarkable 12 league titles across the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France – not including the two he claimed with Juventus that were later revoked.
