Sandro Rosell has spoken first, and he has CONFIRMED THAT PEP GUARDIOLA WILL NO LONGER BE THE COACH OF FC BARCELONA FOLLOWING THE END OF THE SEASON.
-
The man himself has started to speak:
"I want you to understand this wasn't a simple decision. but I'll try to explain what I feel and I hope that people understand. I'm deeply sorry for the confusion over the last few weeks.
"I've always wanted short contracts because the demand at Barca is so big. I lived that as a player, and I know exactly how it works. I always thought that four years is an eternity for a club. I didn't want to have a contract that will bind me to decisions I didn't want.”
-
"In autumn I announced to the press and director of football, I announced it was the end of my era at Barca, but I couldn't say that to the players because it would have been too complex then. Now that we're out of the two main competitions, it's a good time to announce."
"After four years gets everyone tired. September/October was when I told the chairman that my era is finishing.
“The new coach will be able to give things I'm not able to any more."
“Talking to you and players for 4 years is very demanding."
-
"I want to thank my players, who have been responsible for everything I have had here - it's been a privilege to train them. I did it all with a lot of passion,, but I want to thank the players.
"Day by day, for so many years, they made it all possible."
-
"I need to recover the feeling that I had when I first started - time has taken its toll. I just don't feel the same - Barca don't deserve that. That's all I'm going to say."
Emotional stuff from the boss there.
Stay tuned for the annoucement of next season's Barcelona coach...
