Pep Guardiola has been subjected to a scathing attack from the Bayern Munich doctor with whom he had a highly publicised fall-out during his spell in charge of the German club.

Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt has described Guardiola as a “person with low self-esteem, who will do everything to hide it from others” in an extraordinary rebuke of the Manchester City manager.

The highly-regarded doctor, 75, left Bayern after 38 years in the wake of a 3-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat away to Porto in April 2015 that he claims Guardiola blamed him for and which proved the tipping point in their troubled relationship.

Muller-Wohlfahrt, who has since returned to Bayern for a third spell with the German giants, has alleged he was “verbally attacked” by Guardiola “while the players were receiving treatment”.
