The future of Pep Guardiola is once again a hot topic in the soccer world. After several successful years leading Manchester City, his return to LaLiga seems like a real possibility. However, the most surprising part is that this return wouldn't be to Barça.
Pep Guardiola has always been linked to Barça, the club where he left his mark as a player and coach. However, the possibility of seeing him on another Spanish bench has gained traction following recent statements from his camp. Although Guardiola has expressed his commitment to Manchester City, his brother Pere has dropped a bomb.
Pep Guardiola Knocks Out Barça
A few weeks ago, Pep Guardiola's future was on everyone's lips. Poor results, the pending trial against City and the end of his contract, set for this summer, fueled the rumors. In this context, it seemed like Barça or a national team could be his next stop.
There was talk about Brazil or even England, but Pep Guardiola ended up renewing with Manchester City under the promise of staying for many years. However, as he himself has hinted on occasion, a call from Barça would be irresistible, leaving the door open for a possible return.
That said, what few could have imagined were the words of his brother Pere, president of Girona. To everyone's surprise, he confessed that "you never know, he might come someday." Therefore, it seems the door to Barça is definitively closed for Pep Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola to Girona?
Girona has been one of the most pleasant surprises in LaLiga in recent seasons. Its offensive play style and ability to compete with big teams have made it a respected team. But undoubtedly, Signing Pep Guardiola would provide a huge quality boost to the Girona project.
His brother Pere, president of Girona, has been key in the development of the sports project. His vision has allowed the club to grow steadily and establish itself in the elite of Spanish soccer. However, the big surprise could be signing Pep.
In this sense, Girona offers an attractive scenario for the Catalonian coach. The stability of the project and the possibility of working in a less pressured environment could be decisive factors. Either way, fans believe that Pep Guardiola's legacy is so tied to Barça that any other destination in LaLiga would be strange.
