NOU CAMP CHIEFS expect Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola to decide on his future “in a couple of weeks”.
Vice president Javier Faus says a decision from the multi-trophy winning coach is imminent.
The Barca boss has always been coy on his long-term plans, insisting he’d like to manage in England and elsewhere. But while his current deal expires this summer, the former club captain is expected to remain in Catalunia.
“We want Pep to stay here for many years. We will know his decision in a couple of weeks, we hope his response will be positive,” Faus told the club’s official website.
Barcelona face Real Madrid at home tomorrow in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final, leading 2-1 from last week’s meeting at the Bernabeu.
How could you not renew a contract there? He’s only a young guy and even if he wants to manage elsewhere at some stage you can’t walk away from Xavi, Iniesta and Messi in their prime. He’ll be there for a bit longer me thinks.
