Estiarte (right-hand man Guardiola): "More than once, I heard players say 'That bastard, he nailed it again!'. For example, at Wembley."

Estiarte: "Pep played the Wembley final before the chalkboard. If you closed your eyes and listened, you were already in the game."

Estiarte (right-hand man Guardiola): "During Wembley final, I thought: I already saw this, I already heard this, Pep already said this..."

Pep Guardiola delivers his 2011 Best Manager award to the Barça Museum

Guardiola has told his agent he can already start listening to offers for the 2013-14 season, after his sabbatical year in New York. [sport]

Estiarte (right-hand man Guardiola): "I saw Pep cry twice, once of happiness, once of sadness. In Abu Dhabi, the whole world saw it." [elp]

Estiarte (right-hand man Guardiola): "Other time was when he called me to tell about Abidal. He couldn't stop crying, he couldn't speak..."

Manel Estiarte skrev:We had an argument when he was renewing his contract last season. He wanted to share part of his wages with the coaching staff and other people at Barça who have helped him. I refused that. We [those people] already had wages, some incentives, we were in a good position and felt recognized by the club. There were many people on that list: not only almost his entire coaching staff, but also janitors, club employees, and people from Barça B… well, instead of that Pep shared all the money he received from that advert for Banc Sabadell.

Manel Estiarte skrev:And we also had to listen to Iturralde (yes, a referee!!!) criticizing Pep for doing a commercial, saying “well, he doesn’t speak to anyone, but money is money…”

Benitez (ex-coach Liverpool): "For me, Guardiola is an example, a reference. A coach who transmits values and a way of seeing football.

Guardiola: "I did enjoy the cup final. The players wanted to give me a present, but this win will do." #copafcb [canal2]

Guardiola: "Didn't decide anything on my future, we'll see. Maybe I'll return to Barça, maybe not. But I'll always carry Barça in my heart."

Samtidig er han utrolig ærlig og menneskelig; når han åbner op og fortæller, hvordan han var gået død i jobbet, og hvordan han nu går fra at være en af de mest eftertragtede herrer inden for fodbolden, til at lade sig forsvinde ind i mængden i en storby som New York. Det er uden tvivl denne ærlighed og ydmyghed, der bragte os så mange successtunder de seneste år, det er jeg ikke i tvivl om.
