How it all started for one of the youngest football manager ever: PEP GUARDIOLA grin


Guardiola had played as a defensive midfielder
and spent the majority of his playing career
with FC Barcelona. He was part of Johan Cruyff's
"dream team" that won Barcelona's first European
Cup. He also played for Brescia and Roma in Italy;
Al-Ahli in Qatar; and for Dorados de Sinaloa in
Mexico while attending managing school. While
playing in Italy, he served a four-month ban for
a positive drug test, although he was cleared of
wrongdoing twice on appeal in 2009 before the Courts
of Justice of the Italian Football Federation and
the Federal Anti-Doping Courts of the Italian Olympic
Committee (CONI).[2] As an international, he played
for Spain, and in friendly matches for Catalonia.

After retiring as a player, Guardiola became coach
of FC Barcelona B, and mid-2008 he succeeded Frank
Rijkaard as the first team manager. In his first
season as manager, Barça won the treble of La Liga,
the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. In doing
so, Guardiola became the youngest UEFA Champions
League-winning manager ever. The following season,
Guardiola and Barcelona won the Supercopa de España,
the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup,
bringing the manager's tally to the maximum of six
trophies in six competitions in one year, thus
completing six trophies sextuple in two seasons.

On 8 September 2011, Guardiola was awarded the
Catalan parliament's Gold Medal, the highest honour.
On 9 January 2012, Guardiola received the 2011 FIFA
World Coach of the Year award for Men's Football. On
30 June 2012, Guardiola quit as Barcelona manager,
after achieving 14 titles in four years in charge of
the club.

On 16 January 2013, the management of FC Bayern Munich
declared that Guardiola will join the club for the
2013–14 season after Jupp Heynckes retires in July 2013.
By Monday 24th June 2013, he was officially unvieled as
Manager of the treble winning German Machine (FC Bayern
munich).
