Former Manchester City defender Danilo has revealed he didn’t have the best of relationships with manager Pep Guardiola.
Danilo joined from Real Madrid in 2017 and was seen as a versatile fullback given his ability to play on both the left and right.
But after only 60 appearances across all competitions, the Brazilian was sent to Juventus in a part-exchange for Joao Cancelo.
Speaking about his experience with the tactician, the 30-year-old has claimed that it wasn’t easy to get along with Guardiola.
“It's true it's not easy to have a good relationship with him [Guardiola],” he told the Daily Mail, via Repubblica.
“He is never relaxed, he thinks about football all the time. I think at home, in the evening, he puts his wife on the couch as if she were a player on the pitch.”
However, Danilo did say that his time in Manchester under Guardiola changed the way he saw the game.
“I’ve been lucky, they [Guardiola, Massimilano Allegri and Zinedine Zidane] are different, but they are all winners. I have tried to learn from everyone. It was with Guardiola that I changed my way of seeing things, I didn’t play much also because of an injury.”
Danilo was part of the City squad which romped to the Premier League title in his debut season, amassing 100 points.
