On 27th April, Pep Guardiola, the coach of Barcelona, announced that he will not continue as coach of the Spanish club after this season. His assistant Tito Vilanova will take over this club.
When he was a player, Guardiola played as a defensive midfielder and did well in Barcelona. He was part of “dream team” that won Barcelona’s first European Cup. At his last four year in Barcelona, he was the captain of this football team.
After retiring as a player, he became coach of FC Barcelona B. although he lacked experience in coach, due to the wonderful performance, he was appointed as the first manager of FC Barcelona. He started to achieve his glorious life.
In four years, he created his legend. The first year, Barcelona won the treble of La Liga, the Copadel Rey, and the Champions League. Because of this, he became the youngest manager who won the Champions League. The next season, he brought the Supercopa de Espana, the Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. He achieved the honour that it is the first time for a club to win the maximum champion of six competitions in one year. He did it. When he left Barcelona, he achieved thirteen titles. On 8 September 2011, he was awarded the Catalan parliament’s Gold Medal, the highest honour. After four months, he was awarded the FIFA World Coach of the Year for Men’s Football award.
Due to some reasons, he decided to leave Barcelona. However, many people, including me, look forward to seeing his next legend.
