Its a whole huge thing. Apparently he wanted to take a year off and Barca constantly pestered him against his wishes.
Quote:
Guardiola left Barcelona in the summer of 2012 after four seasons in charge, saying he needed to "recharge my batteries", and announced he would be taking a year's sabbatical in New York.
However, Guardiola, whose first two years at Barca had come under Joan Laporta's presidency, told a press conference that Rosell had refused to grant him the "peace" he had requested when walking away from the Camp Nou.
"I told them [the president and his directors] I was going 6,000km away and asked them to leave me in peace, but they haven't kept their word," he said. "I did my time [at Barcelona] then decided to leave.

And then Barca trashed his character saying that while he was in NY he refused to visit Tito in the hospital, which Pep refutes.
Then issues such as 'stealing' Thiago from Barca as well there was a rumour that Pep talked to Neymar's agent trying to lure him to Bayern and told him 'Tito doesnt know how to play Neymar and Messi together.' Which apparently neither Barca nor Tito were overly pleased about.
Barca and Pep have been going back and forth on this crap for weeks.
