Pep Guardiola gets Barcelona fans dreaming after chat with Aitana Bonmati

Pep Guardiola has got Barcelona fans dreaming by joking about a potential return to the club as president and says he’d employ Aitana Bonmati as his sporting director.

The two have been enjoying a chat as part of a new documentary about the Barcelona Femeni superstar during which she revealed she’d like to be the club’s sports director.

Aitana then suggested if she got the job she could tempt Pep back to Barcelona to take charge of the first team again, saying: “I’ll be there, and since you’ll train until you’re 80...”

But Pep was quick to reply: “I assure you that I am not going to train until I am 80!
