Getafe thinking about Guardiola

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Primera División club Getafe is keeping an eye on Barcelona B manager Josep Guardiola (37). Getafe thinks that their current manager Michael Laudrup could well leave in the summer (read more here) and is therefore already looking for a possible substitute with the same profile: a young manager with a love for attacking football.

The name of Guardiola would have been put forward by some key players of the squad, who suggested the option to Getafe president Angel Torres. People close to the president say Torres appreciated the initiative of the players and is seriously considering the possibility of offering Guardiola the Getafe bench. After picking Quique Sánchez Flores (who left for Valencia), Bernd Schuster (who left for Real Madrid) and Michael Laudrup (who seems on his way to a European top club), Getafe president Torres is started to be seen as the manager's king maker.

pep's opinion:
this would just be the ideal step-up for Guardiola, allowing him to gain Liga experience in a quiet environment
