Pep Guardiola has been slammed in a scathing attack by Bayern Munich&#39;s high-profile team doctor, who said the Catalan took the German club &quot;backwards&quot; in some aspects of their training.&nbsp;

In his autobiography, which is being serialised this week in newspaper Bild, Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt described current Manchester City boss Guardiola as someone with &quot;low self-esteem who does everything to hide it from others&quot;.

&quot;Guardiola is often portrayed in the media as an innovative, if not revolutionary, coach, but at Bayern Munich he turned the clock back,&quot; wrote Mueller-Wohlfahrt.

&quot;It even went so far as to turn our medically thought-out, well-rehearsed warm-up programme on it&#39;s head before training sessions.

&quot;I think Pep Guardiola is a person of low self-esteem.

&quot;He seems to live in constant fear, not so much of defeat, but much more about any loss of power and authority,&quot; Mueller-Wohlfahrt added.

The 75-year-old Munich-based doctor has worked with a host of stars including sprint legend Usain Bolt and Germany&#39;s 2014 World Cup winning squad.

Mueller-Wohlfahrt had a stormy relationship with Guardiola, Bayern&#39;s head coach from 2013 until May 2016 in which he won three consecutive Bundesliga titles.

The pair fell out in April 2015 when Mueller-Wohlfahrt claims he was verbally attacked by Guardiola after a Champions League defeat in Porto which saw the doctor resign from his Bayern duties.

&quot;While the players were still being treated, I was loudly attacked in front of the assembled team and made responsible for our many injuries,&quot; Mueller-Wohlfahrt wrote.

&quot;I was to blame for the physical condition of the players and ultimately for the defeat.

&quot;I felt deeply hurt. I resigned as team doctor of FC Bayern Munich after 38 years.&quot;

Mueller-Wohlfahrt, who returned to work with Bayern following Guardiola&#39;s departure in 2016, says the Spaniard was &quot;upset every time a player had to come off with a muscle injury.&quot;

&quot;After the successful 2012/13 season, then came Pep Guardiola and he knew everything better,&quot; said the German.

&quot;Five minutes warm-up in a rush - that had to be enough.

&quot;I simply could not reach Pep Guardiola with the way I think and work.

&quot;Whenever I wanted to talk to him, he immediately turned away and walked away.

&quot;The tensions between us increased over the months.

&quot;Every time I helped a player off, because of a muscle injury, the coach was angry.

&quot;&#39;That&#39;s ridiculous, he could continue to play&#39;, was what he meant.&quot;

Pep Guardiola has been slammed in a scathing attack by Bayern Munich's high-profile team doctor, who said the Catalan took the German club "backwards" in some aspects of their training.
