Overview
- Longtime analyst Carles Planchart told SPORT that Guardiola never felt fully at home at Bayern but felt treated like family at Manchester City.
- Planchart argued that a coaching project should span five to six years and said he would advise Guardiola to start something new after such a stretch.
- The remarks come after a difficult 2024/25 season in which City narrowly secured Champions League qualification yet retained Guardiola.
- Guardiola has indicated he plans to take a break and has said a national-team role is something he could consider in the future.
- Merkur also reported Planchart’s claim that Guardiola was involved in the Luis Díaz transfer to City, a point presented with limited evidence.
