Sergio Aguero’s father has launched an attack on Pep Guardiola over faking tears when paying tribute to the player.
Aguero left City after a decade in Manchester and will officially join Barcelona on a free upon the expiration of his contract.
The Argentine star extended his lead as the City’s record scorer in his last game at the Etihad as he scored a brace against Everton on the last day of the campaign.
After the match, Guardiola was brought to tears in an interview with Sky Sports as he talked about Aguero’s exit, describing him as ‘irreplaceable.’
But, Leonel El Castillo, Aguero’s father, has questioned whether he was genuine in his outpouring of emotion and has said he always wants to be the star of the show.
“I don’t believe his tears. For me, he never wanted Kun. He always wants to be the main man and not the players,” he told A Radio La Red, via TYC Sports.
“I don’t believe [in] Guardiola. He never wanted it [the CL trophy], he wants to be the protagonist of all the teams.”

“He says that he [Aguero] is irreplaceable and he does not have him in the squad.
“There are things about Guardiola, he is a great coach. But from one day to the next the players change you, the environment changes. You never know if you are a starter or not.
“There is someone who says if you are not here to stay at the club and you have no choice but to change. He [Aguero] was [allowed to stay] until the last time [he renewed his contract] but it was not possible [this time] – team where he is an idol.”
El Castillo also went on to reveal that Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea all showed interested in the player.
“Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea were interested in him until the last moment. If he did not stay in England he would go to Italy.”
