Former Spain international Gaizka Mendieta: Pep Guardiola will soon leave Barcelona
Posted Thursday, February 02, 2012 by Goal.com
Former Spain international Gaizka Mendieta has hinted that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola will not be at Camp Nou much longer.
Guardiola has yet to commit his future to Barca beyond the end of this season despite winning 13 out of 16 titles since taking charge of their first team in 2008.
The 41-year-old coach denied on Tuesday the notion that he was close to signing a new contract, but Mendieta says that Guardiola will not take long to join another club.
"I believe that his cycle at Barcelona will end someday, he is the one to decide the right moment," Mendieta is quoted by Europa Press as saying.
"I think that as a professional he is interested in new challenges.
"It could happen in the summer, it depends on how this season goes. Soon we could see Guardiola at another club.
"Perhaps because of his playing experience in Italy it will be easier to see him in Serie A, even though he knows about world football and he could triumph anywhere."
