Rosell: Pep could be the Fergie of Barca

PEP GUARDIOLA can be Barcelona’s coach for years to come and rival the Manchester United tenure of Alex Ferguson, according to the Catalan club’s president, Sandro Rosell.

Speculation has linked Guardiola with a move away from the Nou Camp, even with Barca topping the table, and he has been suggested as a possible replacement for Ferguson when he eventually retires at Old Trafford.

But Rosell expects Guardiola to stay at the Nou Camp for many years to come.
