New Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola (37) met yesterday afternoon with former Barcelona right winger Luis Enrique (38) in a restaurant near the Barcelona port.

Good thing, let's hope he whoses us.
I think it would be a good move. I guess I'm must a little confused? I assumed that had Mourinho been the next coach that Luis Enrique would have been in his hip pocket? Which kind of makes me "question" Enrique's allegiance? Was there a "handshake" deal with Mourinho on the table? and does he hold any animosity over...A.)Being passed over himself for the manager's position or...B.)Not being included as an assistant coach on Guardiola's staff? Of course I could be reading too much into this and I don't want to make it seem like I'm trying to instigate any sort of "conspiracy theories". I think it would be a logical move for Enrique to get his coaching career launched. I personally hope he does accept the offer.
hmm...again he has ZERO experience. I dont think he evene has experience coaching at this level. This isnt a kids summer camp. Then again its only barca B so maybe it'l work
