‘Cowardly’ Pep lacked respect, blasts Eto’o

Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o has hit out at his former coach Pep Guardiola, claimed the then Barcelona coach was “a coward”.

The Cameroon striker spent one season working under Guardiola at Barcelona before transferring to Italian giants Inter, where he played for his current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

But in an astonishing verbal attack on Guardiola, Eto’o stated the current Bayern Munich boss rarely spoke to him at Barca, insisting he used other players to communicate instead.
