Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has shrugged off a blast from Italian super agent Mino Raiola.

Raiola, the agent of PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, took aim at the former Barcelona coach.

"He is a nasty piece of work as a man, but a great coach," declared Raiola.

"Guardiola was the man who took Ibra to Barcelona and later he treated him very badly."

Asked for a response, Guardiola stated: "He says I'm a great coach, so I can only thank him..."
