Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola have been told to stop complaining by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.
The Slovenian chief has fired back at the pair of Premier League coaches, who have often voiced their concerns regarding player welfare amid fixture congestion within the football calendar. But Ceferin has attempted to silence the duo by declaring that "factory workers" in much less privileged positions are the ones with license to moan.
UEFA's head honcho argued: "It's easy always to attack FIFA and UEFA, but the thing is simple. If you play less, you get less money. Who should complain are the factory workers who get €1,000 per month." He added: “Everyone wants more cup games, but nobody gives up on anything. Clubs wanted 10 games in the Champions League group stage. They’ll have eight, it’s the right number. Domestic leagues should have 18 clubs, but the presidents do not agree. They should understand that two domestic cups are too many.”
