E.Petit: J.Guardiola should take a break © JumpStory

Former "Barcelona" player Emmanuel Petit talked about coach Josef Guardiola's future. According to the Frenchman, his former teammate at the Catalan club could consider taking a break in his impressive career if UEFA officials do not lift the suspension penalty for the "Man City" team. "I think in that case, Josep would have a chance. It would be an opportunity for Guardiola to take a step back and rest. It was clear not long ago that he was exhausted from coaching," said E. Petit. "You never know what can happen, but I am mostly worried not by the possible departure of Josep himself - the team would find another specialist. The biggest problem for the club would be if UEFA upheld the current ban on playing in the Champions League after the appeal. It would be a blow to everything that has been done over the past 5-7 years in terms of investments, and it would change everything in the team. Top-level footballers want to play in the best tournaments."
