Sergio Aguero jokes that Pep Guardiola has put him off management by losing his hair

Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has joked that he would not pursue a potential career in management because he doesn’t want to lose his hair like his former boss Pep Guardiola.

Aguero, Argentine striker arrived at the Nou Camp from Man City in 2021, was forced to end his career at the age of 33 while playing for Barcelona after discovering heart problems on his first start for the club.

Aguero was a prominent figure for Argentina during their World Cup success in Qatar – and at one point was even seen joining in a training session before the final against France.

But the 34-year-old has ruled out following former manager Guardiola into management – who he played under at City for half a decade.

Speaking on the streaming service Twitch, Aguero joked: ‘It’s not easy to be a coach… Look at Pep, he went bald from thinking so much.’

For half a decade, Aguero had played under Guardiola at Manchester City winning countless honours, before he left for Barcelona in 2021, having scored 260 goals for City.

He had a record 12 hat tricks in his total haul of 184 Premier League goals, the most for an overseas player and the fourth most all-time.

He also scored arguably the Premier League’s most famous goal, the dramatic stoppage-time winner against Queens Park Rangers that clinched the title for City on the final day of the 2011-12 season.
