Guardiola has forged a reputation as one Europe's elite managers following trophy-laden stints with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
The 51-year-old has among other trophies won nine league titles and two UEFA Champions League leagues as a manager but his last European triumph came at Barcelona in 2011.
Guardiola lost last season's Champions League final to Chelsea and was on the cusp of taking Manchester City to another showpiece before being denied by Real Madrid at the eleventh hour last week.
One of the accusations usually levelled against Guardiola is that he overthinks in big games but Evra also believes the Catalan restricts his players with his tactics.
Speaking to Amazon Prime Video about Guardiola’s management style, Evra said: "I have a lot of respect for Guardiola but I'm glad I never had him as a coach, because he takes away your responsibilities, I was talking to Clarence [Seedorf], you have the impression that he is playing on the Playstation.
"He tells you everything you need to do. I remember that [Thierry] Henry, for example, when he was at Barcelona, Guardiola told him to stay wide, but Henry came inside to do one-two with [Lionel] Messi, he scored and after the first half Guardiola put him on the bench, he took him out, just because he didn't respect his directives.”
"So yes a great coach, but you have to be careful when you give so much information,” said Evra. “We also saw him on the bench before the [Real Madrid] game, it seems like there are 20 people in his head, his brain is already burning, it's incredible.
"There is no plan-B. When they are in trouble, what do they do? They look at the bench, they don't take their responsibilities. A coach like Ferguson was not good at tactically, but he said: 'I am the boss, but on the pitch you are'."
