'I would like Guardiola back' - Barca presidential candidate Laporta
Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta says he hopes to bring Pep Guardiola back to the club as he prepares to run in the club’s presidential elections next year.
Laporta was previously in charge at the Camp Nou from 2003-10, a period where Barca began their rise towards the Guardiola-led dynasty.
It was during Guardiola's tenure as manager from 2008-12 that Barcelona arguably put together its most dominant team, claiming La Liga three times and the Champions League twice as part of a total haul of 14 major trophies.

Those trophies, which also include two Copas del Rey and two Club World Cup crowns, sealed Guardiola as a Barcelona icon even after he departed the club in 2012.
