Hope Pep gave Pique a reality check and told him to get his shit together.

I hope Pique told Pep to come back home. :(

God I miss him

Pique: "I'm shit. What should I do Pep"?

Pep: "Deal with it"!

Dont know if we will see something like this in our lifetime. This team getting destroyed in less than 3 years by our board. Thats an achievement in itself.

Pep Guardiola
will not manage FC Barcelona again.

The current Bayern Munich manager is arguably the greatest in the Catalan side's history but despite retaining his feelings for Barcelona and the region, he has confirmed he will not return as coach.

Guardiola was in Barcelona to vote in the referendum over Catalonia's future and told Esports3 that his time as coach was over and not an era that would be repeated.

"No, no, no,"
he said when asked if he'd manage the club again. "In principle, as a coach, that era is over. In life there are cycles, and that era has ended."

After Guardiola left Tito Vilanova took over, but his reign was sadly cut short by cancer.

Tata Martino took the reins but suffered a painful one-season tenure before being replaced by Luis Enrique in the summer.

Not a surprise. It's kind of what he has mantained since he left. The only way I can see him coming back is when all these players have retired.

I think he might come back as president one day. But not as a coach, even after Messi retires. What he did is unrepeatable, and he would be always compared to what he did back then. He knows the pressure would be too big.

Not surprised. I love Pep but I don't see him as Barca obsessed as someone like Xavi or Puyol were/are. He likes trying new things and new environments as evident to his playing and now managing career.

Would he qualify as a candidate for presidency? I know Rosell and co. modified to rules to try to perpetuate their reign, but I'm not sure about it...

Either way, Pep's a smart man most of the time, and he'd be an idiot by risking to taint his legacy... I don't like if he stays way too long in another club, though...

The only thing Rosell and co changed was upping the No Confidence percentage from 5% to 15% and making it difficult to become a soci.

I think Pep will take a Tour of England, then Italy and then a National Team Coach before he ends his mangerial career.

I'm glad he said it, we can finally put a rest to the "bring Pep back" false hopes.

He wouldn't be able to repeat what he did anyway, he wouldn't have the once in a lifetime players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Puyol either. Pep created something so massive that not even he could repeat again.

I never expected him to come back but that doesn't stop his statement from hurting. It's the kind of wish that, no matter how unrealistic, is always going to remain with you. Any sane Cule has a strong attachment to Pep and knows how impossible it is to truly move on from that era.

Even 3 years after his departure our woes always tend towards being unsatisfied that our current football isn't up to THAT standard or that xyz component doesn't resemble the true way of playing we had before. I see a lot less United fans still mourning over SAF compared to Barca fans and Pep. The legacy he left here is still central to what we perceive 'Barcelona' to be and it'll be this way for a LONG time. I can never not be sentimental when it comes to Pep and Barca.

Strong words.
His last day at the Camp Nou, he said "you will never lose me".
He will come back at the club ; how and when , I don't know, but I know it.
