Pep Guardiola nominated coach to succeed Xavi Hernandez in training Barcelona after the end of his era with the Catalan team, as happened with him personally.
The Manchester City coach, who was recently crowned with the treble, spoke to reporters on the sidelines of his presence at the fifth edition of the “Legends Cup” golf tournament in Barcelona.
And he started talking about the treble, saying: “For a club that has never achieved that, the first was the hardest. I’ve been doing really well. It’s been a week now. It went well. Now let’s think about the next step. Sport is always the next thing that always comes.”
And about the financial crisis that Barcelona is still suffering from: “I would say that Barcelona’s situation seems to be more wrong than other clubs. If 400 million is spent on three players and their salaries are not an issue for City or PSG, it will be Barcelona’s or their team’s fault or those. who were before and caused this situation.”
“Let everyone take responsibility. Joan makes an enormous effort. He renewed the team and won the league. All credit and thanks to him .. The members chose him, and he is not bad.
And when he was asked about the reason for his meeting with Laporta and the possibility of his return to Barcelona training, he replied: “I do not think that he is asking me to return. We meet each other once a year. We met at dinner by chance. I’m a supporter and I hope the new Camp Nou will keep his status with him.”
In the middle of his speech, he mentioned the name of his candidate to succeed Xavi: “Barcelona has a great coach. He won the league. I hope he will be around for many years, and when he decides that his stage is over, Busquets or someone else will come, and my stage as a coach is over.”
It is reported that Pep Guardiola has previously talked about preparing Busquets to become a coach after the end of his football career. The City coach sent him a message after his departure from Barcelona, and told him, “You and I know that you will become a coach .. I am waiting for you on the field to beat you.”
