Joan Laporta eyes Pep Guardiola return if elected Barcelona president
Joan Laporta says, he will bring back Pep Guardiola to Barcelona if he is re-elected as the club's president.
Laporta was the club's president when Guardiola was appointed manager in 2008. He is now running again as a candidate in the upcoming election, which takes place in 2021.
The former president wants to reunite with Man City boss Guardiola at the Nou Camp.
"I'm working to introduce myself as a presidential candidate," Laporta told TV3 (via Goal ) . "I've been president before and I'm excited to be back. The situation in 2021 will be dramatic and we'll have to reverse it. I'm working with people I trust.
"I would very much like Guardiola to come back, but now he is at City and it is a decision that Pep should take. He is a benchmark for Barcelona and many Catalans would like him to train Barca again. At the right time, I will speak to the person we think should be a Barca coach from 2021."
