Barcelona’s director, Deco, has firmly denied any discussions with managers for a potential role at the club, specifically addressing speculation around Pep Guardiola. In a statement to @esport3, Deco emphasized the lack of communication with any managerial candidates, stating, “We are not speaking to any manager, really. Zero talks.”
He further clarified the club’s stance on Guardiola, who is currently contracted with Manchester City, by saying, “Pep Guardiola is under contract with another club, I’d never speak about him – it’d be disrespectful for Man City.” This response comes amidst rumours linking Guardiola with a return to Barcelona, where he previously enjoyed significant success as a manager.
