Guardiola explains the marks on his head
The 53-year-old has now revealed that he has a skin condition that makes him want to scratch himself often.
“I have a skin problem. I have had to take antihistamines for the last two or three years. The nails, yes, I did them on my nose. But the rest was that” he said on Amazon Prime Italy via GMS.
Guardiola: I have sleeping problems
The former Barcelona manager also admitted to sleeping problems but expressed confidence that Manchester City’s current slump in form would pass.
“I sleep badly and I don’t digest, I always have to eat light. Only soup in the evening. I am the same as I was five months ago. The one who had won the championship, and I don’t go against my state of mind. If my state of mind is ugly…it is ugly. But I know it will pass.”
