Guardiola Aide: City Felt Like Family, Bayern Did Not, Time for a New Project

Guardiola has already ruled out a Barcelona return.

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.
