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.

Even if the season is not ended in England, Van Persie has been awarded with the PFA Player of the Year.

Van Persie is having the best season of his career with Arsenal. The Netherlands striker is also  the top scorer of the Premier League with only 3 more games to play. The 28 years old striker has scored 27 goals in Premier League this season.

Van Persie also entered into Arsenal record book as the player scored more than 100 goals for the club. He also beat Henry record of goals scored in a season for the club.

Even if Arsenal secured a Champions League place, Van Persie’s future is still in doubt. There are rumors that the player will arrive at Barcelona this summer. Van Persie is disappointed with Arsenal lack of trophies and does not want to sign a contract extension. His contract is going to expire next year and Arsenal may be forced to sell the player now in order to not lose him on a free.

Giuseppe Rossi suffered a rupture of anterior cruciate ligament  on his right knee last year in October in a game against Real Madrid.

The Italian striker hoped for a return on the field that would help him reach the Italy squad for the European championship. But this week Rossi suffered another rupture on the same ligament.

This is the worst news for Villareal and for Italy as Rossi is a  key player for both teams. Now the player will go to US again for investigations and surgery.

The recovery period is believed to be of around 6 months. This means that Rossi will stay out of the field for more than a year and he may not reach the same top level again.

Rossi was one of the best players for Italy in the qualification round and his absence will be miss. With Antonio Cassano also in doubt Italy will have a difficult task in replacing them.

Liverpool are interested in signing Juan Manuel Vargas from Fiorentina. The Peruvian winger was one of the most interesting players on the transfer market a few years ago with clubs like Real Madrid or Inter interested on him. But along with the team fall in form Vargas had a drop in form and the interest of the clubs disappeared.

Now it looks like Vargas is in top form again and Bayern and Liverpool are interested in signing him. The player has the advantage that can play everywhere on the left.

Probably Liverpool will move for Vargas only if Kuyt will leave. The Holland international expressed his wish to leave the club after being dropped to the bench by KennyDalglish.

Kuyt is one of the best paid players at Liverpool. Liverpool will definitely miss Champions League places this season again and reducing the total wages would be more than welcomed.

After five months of absence Antonio Cassano has received some good news. The Italian international needs only the approval of the “Istituto di Medicina Sportiva dell’Acqua Acetosa” and he can return to football field.

Cassano suffered a mini-stroke in November last year after a game with Roma. Cassano had a heart surgery after the incident and his career was in danger.

The 29 years old attacker was on the top of his career and many experts are saying that Juve is still close to Milan in Serie A standings because of his missing. Cassano played only nine games this season in which he contributed with 2 goals and seven assists.

Cassano may not be able to help his team too much this season but he can be useful for Italy at European championship.
