An interview with the ex-Barça coach has come to light

Pep Guardiola visited the Catalan politicians and social leaders who are being held in prison in Lledoners and later spoke on the internal prison radio. 

The audio has now come to light via the journalist Xavi Torres and the former Manchester City boss spoke about many subjects. 

"Catalonia is liked a lot in England," he said. "Nearly everyone I know goes there on holiday. They speak highly about what we have, the weather, our food..." 

On politics, he said: "I don't like politics much because it shows a lot of what humans are like... Life's gone well for me, like many people, because my job has helped me in that way. 

"I'm from a humble family from a small village and my family have always helped me to put myself on the side of the less fortunate. I'm very to the left.

"I like to watch politics from a far. I think we all are involved in politics and we have a duty to express our opinions." 

On the possibility of being a president one day, Pep commented hat "I think that I do well as a coach. Being more of a director means a lot of dinners and that bores me. I like the smell of the grass, the competition, the nerves, losing a game, making a team play as you want..."
