Pep Guardiola Staying….For Now
Pep Guardiola agrees new Barcelona deal
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has agreed a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the Nou Camp until 2011.
The future of the all-conquering Catalan coach, who won six trophies with Barcelona last term, has been the subject of intense speculation but, on Wednesday, club officials revealed he had extended his contract beyond the end of the season.
This should quiet rumours of Pep Guardiola leaving for about a month. It’s a good compromise between Guardiola and the club as the last thing either party wants is questions about Pep’s future to distract the club. Come the summer if Guardiola’s heart is just not in it anyone or Joan Laporta loses the upcoming presidential elections he can walk away without causing any turmoil during the season.
