Ivorian footballer Yaya Toure has taken a dig at his club coach Pep Guardiola a couple of weeks before he leaves Manchester City.
Toure told France Football magazine that the Spaniard had a problem with black players but had been "too intelligent to be caught out".
He added:
“When you realise that he has problems with Africans, wherever he goes, I ask myself questions.
‘I think I was dealing with someone who just wanted to take revenge on me, who was jealous of me, who took me for his rival. I felt humiliated."
The 35-year-old Ivorian has been with City for seven years.
He joined after three seasons at Spanish club Barcelona where he had fallen out of favour when Guardiola was manager there.
He said that he wondered if his lack of game time in the just-ended season "was not because of my colour".
But Guardiola, who took over at City in 2016, praised him in one of his press conferences, saying:“Yaya is part of the club, not just because of the trophies he has won but because he transmitted to everyone the club can be bigger and greater."
