The full-back insists that in Julian Nagelsmann he found a coach who was prepared to give him a chance while Guardiola just cast him out.
In an interview with German daily Bild, Angelino said: “After my move from Eindhoven to City, he already passed judgement on me after two pre-season games.
“And then didn’t give me a real chance.
“So, I was happy that I was loaned out to Leipzig and now I am an integral part of the club.
“One [Nagelsmann] gave me confidence and allowed me to play but the other one [Guardiola] just didn’t.”
RB Leipzig have signed him on a permanent deal for a fee of €18m from Manchester City.
