Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola supports Xavi Hernandez's decision to keep Sergio Busquets on the bench in their match, asserting that Busquets could assume a boss role in the future.
Pep Guardiola Tips Sergio Busquets for Coaching Career
In a reflection on his time working with the Barcelona midfielder, Pep Guardiola has tipped Sergio Busquets to follow him into coaching. Guardiola, now manager of Manchester City, had a significant impact on Busquets' career, handing him his first-team break at Camp Nou during their time together at Barcelona.
Busquets went on to make Guardiola's old position at the base of the Barca midfield his own. His intelligence and skill, attributes that Guardiola believes are key to Busquets' success, helped him establish himself as a crucial part of the team.
During their time together, Busquets made his first-team debut and spent a year in the second team of Barcelona in the fourth division. The pair's bond grew stronger, and their collaboration resulted in numerous trophies and accolades.
Recently, Busquets made his 500th appearance for Barcelona during a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. Guardiola expressed his belief that Busquets should be proud of this achievement, considering it a testament to his dedication and talent.
However, Guardiola also expressed concern about Busquets' age, implying that he may soon retire from playing. He predicted that Busquets would become a manager in the future, hinting that we might one day see him on the bench.
Despite Busquets' current commitment to Inter Miami in the MLS, there is speculation about his next move in coaching. The exact next step is yet to be officially announced, and there are currently no confirmed reports about his immediate coaching job after his playing career.
Guardiola feels that Busquets has a future in the dugout, and he believes that the midfielder's coaching career will be as successful as his playing career. Yaya Toure, who came to Barcelona specifically to compete with Busquets, was eventually overshadowed by the intelligence and skill of the Barcelona veteran.
As the Premier League game between Manchester City and Bournemouth approached, Guardiola reflected on his time with Busquets and expressed his admiration for the midfielder. He believes that Busquets' impact on the game will be felt for years to come, whether as a player or as a coach.
