Pep Guardiola said he regretted not giving Joe Hart a chance to prove how good he was as a goalkeeper. Hart played only one match for Manchester City under Guardiola before loan moves to Torino and West Ham, followed by a permanent transfer to Burnley. Hart previously felt Guardiola was pushing him out of the club, and he said fans made it clear the decision was not theirs. After Guardiola’s recent comments, Hart responded with kind words, saying he does not hold grudges. Hart said Guardiola gave his reasons and Guardiola had the power, while Hart still liked him before and now.

"Pep was making it very clear that I had to leave Manchester City. [The fans] made it very clear that it wasn't their decision that I was leaving, said the ex-England international."
"I don't hold grudges. I gave my reasons, he gave his and he's the one with power. I liked him before, I like him now, said the Manchester City legend."
"Hart's first and final game under Guardiola came in a Champions League qualifier, in which the goalkeeper had an opportunity to say goodbye to his adoring fans before loan moves to Torino, West Ham, then a permanent transfer to Burnley."
