Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Pep Guardiola "not a man"

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has accused Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola of not being 'man enough' during his brief spell at the club.

Ibrahimovic, who spent the 2009-10 season with the Spanish outfit, returned to Serie A in 2010 amid rumours of a clash with the Blaugrana boss. The Sweden international has since slammed the Spaniard for not explaining his issue with him.

"When I left Barcelona, I said: 'I'm leaving the best team in the world but there is a person having a problem with me'," he told Four Four Two.

"'He's not a man, not telling me what the problem is. But without knowing what the problem is, I will be the man and I will leave'."

Barcelona eliminated AC Milan from the Champions League earlier this week.
