Josep Guardiola announced that he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season. Guardiola’s contract with the Spanish giants is going to expire this summer and this means that he will not extend the deal.

The Spanish manager said that the main reasons for this decision are stress and fatigue. Guardiola who was the Barcelona reserve coach took charge at the first team in 2008. Since then the manager managed to win 13 titles.

He is considered as one of the most talented managers in the World, a man who always tries to be the best. But after so many trophies Guardiola felt that his lost some of his motivation and was afraid not to transmit this to his players.

Barcelona are out of Champions League after losing in the semi-finals against Chelsea. Also in Primera Division they are behind rivals from Real Madrid with only mathematical chances of winning the title. Even if they wont win any title we can not say that it is a disastrous season.

For sure Guardiola will be missed but for the good of football we all want to see him coaching as soon as possible.
