Joan Laporta tried to convince Pep Guardiola to sensationally return as Barcelona manager in the summer of 2022, according to reports.
Following a difficult last campaign, in which the club finished third in LaLiga and were knocked out at the last-16 stage of the Champions League, Laporta handed Ronald Koeman a lifeline by giving him at least one more season at the helm.
But according to Esport3's programme Onze, as cited by Mundo Deportivo, Laporta has already begun to think about life after Koeman by making efforts to lure Guardiola back to the Nou Camp ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, only for the Manchester City manager to refuse.
