Cryuff: Pep to reveal decision soon

Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff believes manager Pep Guardiola will renew his contract and stay on at the Camp Nou.

The Dutchman thinks highly of Guardiola's character and considers the Spaniard to be extremely loyal to the Los Cules. Though, the Barcelona manager has yet to reveal his decision regarding a contract extension, Cruyff is confident Guardiola will give a positive conclusion to the issue in the near future.

"Guardiola played for Barcelona and is now coach. He's a real club man and will not leave them in a lurch, he will not wait two months before announcing his decision." he told EFE.

"If he did not have any doubts about his future, he would already have made a decision."

Some of Guardiola's notable achievements at the club include two Champions League trophies and three La Liga titles. Barcelona remain in contention for the Champions League and the Copa del Rey this season, though they have performed below expectations in La Liga.

The team will aim to win and keep their weakening league title challenge going when they visit Atletico Madrid this Sunday.
