Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has revealed that it would not surprise him if head coach Pep Guardiola leaves Camp Nou after this Saturday's Champions League final against Manchester United.
The Barca tactician revealed earlier this year that his time in charge of the Catalans is nearing its end and has since been linked with Serie A sides Inter and Roma. However, his current contract runs until the summer of 2012.
"Guardiola has put in a lot of hard work in the past few years and it would not surprise me if he decides to leave Barcelona after the Champions League final, regardless of the outcome of the match," Cruyff was quoted as saying by Sport.
The 40-year-old took over at Barcelona in the summer of 2008 and has since led the club to three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, one Champions League and one Club World Cup, but Cruyff believes life at the top has taken its toll.
"If he decides to leave, it would only be because it is very difficult to deal with the heavy pressure for such a long time. That is why I think this could be his last year. He will not have any problems in finding a new team," claimed Cruyff.
Guadiola will be looking to add another Champions League to his trophy cabinet on Saturday when Barcelona meet Manchester United at Wembley, kicking off at 19:45 BST.
