Guardiola's minor record in the Champions League after leaving Barcelona became the starting point for Magath's criticism of the Spanish coach.
The German coach, Felix Magath, thinks Pep Guardiola is not a great coach and cannot do much without a star player like Lionel Messi.
After leaving the Blaugrana, Guardiola worked with Bayern Munich and is now the manager of Manchester City. During his time at Bayern and Man City, Guardiola could win various titles but never led the two clubs to win the Wide Ear trophy.
But it was Messi who won the title for Barcelona. not Guardiola. Without Messi, Guardiola's system would not have been successful. If he can then he has already won the Champions League with Bayern or Manchester City. The puzzle only works if you have a player who is technically above his opponent. "For the crowd, having the ball or whatever it's called, it's boring and the top teams don't really need that," said Magath, who was also Bayern's coach.
Even though Messi was rumored to be working with Guardiola again at Man City when the Argentinian superstar expressed his desire to leave Camp Nou in August.
History Together with Messi, Guardiola won two Champions League titles in the 2008/2009 and 2011/2012 seasons.
According to Magath, Guardiola in general often loses when he wants to win games in a better way. His tactics sometimes ended with the wrong decision, which kept him from being successful, "said Magath quoted by Sport Bild.
