Villarato!
Puyol would look hilarious wafting his hair around in a suit complaining about referee mistakes.

He'd get a Travolta pony tail for the suit. You know how he loves suits anyway.

I think it was Puyol who said that as I remember reading an interview of his on the official Barca website. :)




Agree about Mascherano. He should definitely be on that list. Also, why is Thiago included? He's not even a first team regular yet. :lol:

Yea i kind of forgot about Mascherano when i was making the poll....My bad lol. I put Thiago because he has a high football intelligence for his age and if he does progress and grow then he has the ability to be a tactical genius as well.

Agree but it's a little too early for him, no? :)

I remember someone of our squad was explaining how brilliant is Mascherano about tactics and tactical details as well. He surely has the balls to raise his voice when it's needed, so maybe he would become an improved version of Simeone, who knows.

He isn't known as El Jefecito for nothing. :p

Messi looks like he'd be a terrible coach. He doesn't look like the type to be patient, to repeat himself or find other ways to communicate when his first idea doesn't get across. I think he is a genius in his own right, but coaching would be an epic fail for him. Then again, he could prove me wrong in the future. Someone jot it down :lol:

Valdes would be terrible as a coach in England (choot de bol to me).

Busquets seems to have the right temperament to be a great coach. He always keeps a cool head and understands the game better than anyone bar Xaviniessi.

Didn't Xavi say he didn't want to end up coaching or something like that? He seems to need family (like me) so I wouldn't see him as a good fit as a coach (not that he'd be bad) but in Pep terms, he would just need a vacay from the stress and not fit in long term. Iniesta seems to be so happy outside his football life with other things going on and I don't think he would be unhappy should he end his football career at any time. He seems very happy in real life with his family and business.

I'd say Puyol or Busquets.. but voted for Busquets.

Gets me every time. :lol:

Also, I think Xavi saying that he wasn't willing to accept a coaching role was a response to all the speculation around the time when Pep stepped down as the Barca coach. However, it seems that it was Puyol who said that becoming a coach wouldn't interest him after he retires. That's how I remember it, at least. :/

Although i think he'd be better than Busi, I didn't vote for Xavi because he said he doesn't want to be a manager (or has no plan to be at the moment).

From the top of my head I'd say xavi is the obvious answer here. But just some food for thought, a couple of years ago, when oliver kahn retired, everyone was expecting him to become a coach, and instead he went to college. when people were asking him about that, he basically said that he has spent 20 years playing football and that life has so many other interesting things he wants to experience as well. Most of our guys seem to be rather sophisticated and I don't think they would be at loss in the civilian world. I can easily picture iniesta becoming a winemaker, you know, floating through the vineyard with 50 grapes at each foot.
But yeah, in the end if he wants to xavi would probably be a very good coach. I'd like to see him one day
