Pep Guardiola is not a happy man.
The future Manchester City manager held his first Bayern Munich press conference since his next club was confirmed, and he had some harsh words for the media.
German journalist Rafa Honigstein reports that Guardiola didn’t take too kindly to the lack of “football questions,” while the outgoing Bayern boss said he “doesn’t know why managers give press conferences any more.”

Pep really unhappy that he hasn't been asked about "three at the back/four at the back" and more "football questions" at Bayern.

He was speaking ahead of the Bundesliga leaders’ tricky meeting with Bayer Leverkusen, and was seemingly frustrated by all the talk about his next job rather than the task-at-hand in Germany.
Guardiola: "I know it has never happened before, a manager leaving Bayern, normally Bayern leaves the manager, but we have four months."

Guardiola: "Managers don't get any respect anymore. It doesn't matter what we say." #B04FCB

Guardiola, sounding grumpy: "Why don't you write about the wonderful words I say to my players before games?"

We can’t wait to see how he reacts to the British press when he arrives at the Etihad Stadium for the first time.
