The Man City coach considers his time in the Camp Nou dugout has passed

Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola says that he will never coach Barcelona again. "As a coach, it's over [at Barça], because I am not the same, nor do they even look at me in the same way," he said on 'Preguntas Freqüentes' on TV3.

Guardiola added that during that era (2008) he "was at a fantastic age in which I was taking on the world and we took it on, with some incredible players, a young president (Laporta), Txiki (Begiristain)... it was a generation of brutal players and the best player in the world (Messi). The stars aligned." 

He was also firm on another subject: "President? No, I am a coach and I am good at what I do, you can't be everything. When I stop coaching, you will find me playing golf." 

For Pep, "FC Barcelona have been the best" team of the season "even though they didn't win the Champions League." 

UNIQUE Messi

Continuing to talk about Messi, the City boss described him as "unique. He won't complain off the pitch, but when he doesn't like something on it, he says. Off the pitch he's so quiet."
