News today – Guardiola: Ferguson will last a long at MU. Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, has denied he will move to Manchester United (MU) in the near future. Because, he says, the English giants will still be handled by Sir Alex Ferguson in the next few years.
Spanish and English media today continue to associate Guardiola with MU. It is not separated from Ferguson’s statement that assesses Guardiola appropriate figure to fill the place. At that time, The Daily Express claimed a source close to Sir Alex told the Scottish architect Guardiola rather than Jose Mourinho as a potential successor and, in fact, has done the initial communication.
Guardiola own contract expires in June 2012. However, it is believed Guardiola will persist at the Camp Nou at least one more season, while Ferguson was also considered still will assume his post at MU for several years.
“I am sure he (Ferguson) will decide the ideal figure to replace him. However, the important thing is he will still work for a few more years,” said Guardiola.
When asked about his future, Guardiola did not want to say much. “The first person who would know would have been President (Barcelona, Sandro Rosell),” he said.
He then gave a statement about the possibility of Athletic Bilbao coach, Marcelo Bielsa, replaced him. “You know my opinion about him. His ability can not be doubted,” explained Guardiola.
