Mandzukic is one of those players whose career flourished with age. Even after he scored 18 goals during Pep Guardiola’s first season at Bayern, he was sold to Atletico Madrid. Mandzukic criticized Pep Guardiola after leaving Bayern and told that the manager did not treat him with respect.

Mandzukic said, “Guardiola disappointed me because he didn’t treat me with respect and it was twice as good when Jupp Heynckes was there. Would I sit down with Guardiola for a coffee? That is something that’s not going to happen. In my professional life I don’t have to like everyone but if I feel a negative energy coming from a person then I try to avoid them.”

Mandzukic later joined Juventus and won three consecutive Serie A titles. He was exceptional for the Italian giants and played a huge role in their recent success. Mandzukic also led Croatia to the finals of the 2018 World Cup.
