Pep Guardiola Dedicates Best Catalan Coach Award to Xavi and Pimienta
Upon receiving the Best Catalan Coach award, Pep Guardiola humbly expressed his desire to share the honor with Xavi Hernandez and Xavier Garcia Pimienta. Guardiola’s acknowledgment highlighted the exceptional seasons both Xavi and Pimienta had with Barcelona and Las Palmas, respectively.
“15 years ago this year, I started my career as a coach in a 3rd-tier team [Barcelona B] and we moved up… I want to dedicate it to that year,” Guardiola shared, emphasizing the significance of his coaching journey.
Guardiola’s sentimental dedication underscores his enduring connection to Barcelona and those who have contributed to the club’s success. Xavi’s accomplishments include winning La Liga and the Supercopa with Barcelona last season, while Pimienta secured promotion for Las Palmas and currently holds an impressive 9th position in the La Liga table. Guardiola himself achieved a remarkable treble with Manchester City in the previous season.
