5 greatest Barcelona managers of all time

#2 Pep Guardiola (2008-2012)

The most successful manager in Barcelona’s history, Pep Guardiola revolutionised the way football was played and introduced the beautiful tiki-taka system which was both aesthetically pleasing and brutally effective.

Credited with bringing the best out of 5 time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, Guardiola never hesitated to put his stamp on the side and made some bold decisions during his managerial career such as selling stars like Ronaldinho and Deco and sidelining Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

A brilliant tactician, Guardiola won an incredible 14 trophies in 4 years which included 2 Champions Leagues and 3 La Liga titles. Guardiola was more than just a manager, he introduced his own philosophy and made stars out of plenty of La Masia graduates like Sergio Busquets and Pedro.

One of the managerial greats of the modern era, Guardiola’s Barcelona are probably the greatest team to have ever played club football.
