BR - It may have come as a huge shock to most when Pep Guardiola announced that he would be leaving at the end of the season.
But to those close to him, maybe the only surprise was the timing of the announcement.
The Spaniard has always suggested that four years is an eternity to be manager at any one club. Whether Barcelona won the treble this season or ultimately finish with nothing, it can now be assumed Guadiola's decision had already been made regardless.
