The former Barcelona President has stated that the Catalans' former boss will return to management sometime next year and rules out the PSG rumour
It was at the end of last season that FC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s board officially announced that their head-coach Josep Guardiola will be stepping down as the man at the hot seat.
Guardiola had brought unprecedented success to the Catalan club since his appointment at the famous Spanish outfit.
The manager introduced the concept of total football that every club now aspires to achieve and set the bench-mark for the thoroughly difficult task.
The Spaniard was a former player at the Catalan club and was aware of the club’s identity as he was a part of it since his playing career.
Guardiola led Barcelona to heights that were never achieved before and led them to the auspicious feat of winning two UEFA Champions League titles in 3 years.
The Camp Nou outfit defeated Manchester United in the Champions League on both the occasions, one in Rome and once at Wembley.
Guardiola had a reported falling out with the club’s board and there were other reasons also which had accounted for the ultimate departure of the talented manager.
Pep’s assistant, Tito Vilanova, took over the hot-seat at the Blaugranas and has done ever so well since arriving.
Guardiola stated earlier that he will be taking some time off from football and wants to spend time with his family.
Barcelona’s former president, Laporta, has stated that the Spaniard will be returning to management action next year, while also played down his links to PSG for a consequent appointment.
“I think Pep will return as coach next year. He has a great personality, very clear ideas and he is very intelligent,”
“I have the honour of having good relations with him and, for me, he is the best coach in the world.”
“All the big clubs would have Guardiola as coach. What would it take to convince him? He likes to create.”
“There will be many reasons influencing his choice, he would analyse them all. I think he wants to have the power to decide on all sporting matters and must be comfortable working there.”
The former Barcelona manager is also linked to the Manchester United post when Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 finally decides to call it a day.
