Guardiola wants more silverware

by Admin , 12 February 2011

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has said that he would love to win more trophies with his side.


The 40-year-old recently signed a new contract with Barca, for another season, following his extremely successful two-and-a-half years in charge.

And, even though he has won two La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey and Champions League and they are also in this season's Copa del Rey final and seven points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the Primera Liga in that extrememely short space of time, he promised he will not just be living in the past, dwelling on former victories; he wants more silverware.

"I can see myself here for one more year - then, we'll see," the ex-Barca midfielder told the club's official website.

"What I want to do is get the best out of this team.

"Having reached the Copa del Rey final and doing so well in La Liga has shown me that there is no reason not to stay here for another year.

"I don't want to rest on my laurels," Guardiola added. "There is no place like this, but we have to keep winning."

While Guardiola refuses to put a date on his proposed departure, he insists he will leave when the time is right.

"When I feel I'm not needed, and don't have the passion and strength that I have now, that's when I'll feel enough is enough. Then I'd go," he said.

"There are two ways of leaving - when you aren't winning and get sacked, or when you leave naturally, knowing that the right time has come. Everything has to end at some point. "

When you have been here for four years (which he will have been when his new deal expires), then you are nearer to the end than the start."
