Manchester City director Alberto Galassi has revealed that Pep Guardiola was 'angry' with suggestions that he may have left the club for Juventus earlier this summer.
Soon after completing the domestic treble during the last campaign, it was claimed that Guardiola may replace the outgoing Massimiliano Allegri in Turin.
While that speculation eventually faded away as the summer progressed, Galassi has admitted that his colleague had not been left impressed.
Galassi is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "Guardiola was angry at first and very disappointed, as he hated not being believed. Serious clubs reach agreements a long time before, these last-minute scoops don't really exist.
"He was disappointed by the situation, but then towards the end he went from anger to laughter."
Guardiola currently has two years left on his contract with the Premier League champions.
