Pep Guardiola has firmly stated that he will never return to Barcelona for a second term as manager.
The current Manchester City manager rose to prominence during his successful tenure at Camp Nou from 2008 to 2012, clinching three La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies. His managerial prowess extended to Bayern Munich and Manchester City, where he continued to achieve remarkable success.
Amid speculation about his future, Guardiola recently hinted at the end of his time with Manchester City, sparking discussions about a potential return to Barcelona. However, Guardiola dismissed the idea of coaching Barcelona again, citing his age as a factor.
Expressing sympathy for Xavi, who faced challenges during his coaching stint at Barcelona, Guardiola distanced himself from any involvement in the club’s internal matters.
Guardiola emphasized the intense scrutiny faced by Barcelona’s coaches and urged patience and support for the newly appointed manager, Hansi Flick. Recognizing Flick’s exceptional achievements at Bayern Munich, Guardiola encouraged fans to rally behind him as he embarks on his new role.
