“Manchester City” strategist Pep Guardiola publicly apologized to his former student Kalvin Phillips for comments after the 2022 World Cup.

In December 2022, the City strategist publicly criticized K. Phillips, who, according to the coach at the time, was overweight.

The player himself, who moved to West Ham United in January, revealed that such coach comments severely affected his self-confidence.

During the press conference before Tuesday's match against “Brentford”, P. Guardiola reacted to K. Phillips' comments.

“I want to apologize to Kalvin Phillips. I'm very sorry.

I definitely talked about it. I usually try not to comment to the media on things that I haven't told the player before,” said P. Guardiola.
