Guardiola may leave "Barcelona" club after the final, says Cruyff © EuroFootball.com

Legend Johan Cruyff predicts that current club coach Pep Guardiola may step down after tonight's Champions League final.

In the prestigious tournament final, the Catalans will face "Man Utd."

At 40 years old, Guardiola won a total of nine titles in three seasons with the Barcelona team, including three Spanish league titles and a Champions League triumph.

So far, the specialist has not been inclined to commit long-term to the club and has rejected several long-term contract offers.

"Guardiola has worked very hard in recent years, and it would not surprise me if he stepped down after the final. And regardless of winning or losing," Cruyff said to "Gazzetta dello Sport." "The reason would be that it is not easy to withstand such immense pressure for a long time. Therefore, I think he would take a year off."

When asked who could take over the reins of the Spanish champions in that case, Cruyff named the legendary Dutchman Marco van Basten.
