After the defeats against Chelsea and Real Madrid, Guardiola thinks that perhaps the time has come to leave coaching to someone else.

The reasons why Guardiola feels the time has come are varied; it is speculated that he feels it will be difficult to maintain the same level of success in the following season and that 4 years is enough to complete a triumphant cycle and initiate a new one.

Also, it is known that Guardiola has devoted the best years of his life to the team in heart and soul and now he feels burn out, stressed and in need of a rest.

But for the moment this is just speculation. The meetings that took place yesterday (April 26th) between Sandro Rosell (the president of FC Barcelona) and Andoni Zubizarreta (the sports manager) have been held in absolute secrecy.

If Guardiola finally leaves, it will be a very sad day for the entire community of Barcelona supporters and for the players themselves for whom Guardiola was a very admired and respected coach.
