Pep Guardiola has opened up about his admiration for Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, revealing that he would love to manage the rising star one day, though he admits the chances are slim.
“I would like to coach him… but it won’t happen,” said the Manchester City boss, who previously led Barcelona during their golden era.
At just 17, Yamal has been electric in La Liga this season, scoring 9 goals and setting up 13 more across 35 matches. His speed, vision, and confidence on the ball have made him a standout figure and one of Europe’s most talked-about young talents.
Guardiola’s praise only adds to the excitement building around Yamal, who many believe could soon win the Ballon d’Or. Despite the growing attention and speculation about his future, the teenage sensation remains focused on Barcelona and looks set to continue developing under the guidance of coach Xavi.
While fans may dream of a Guardiola-Yamal linkup, for now, the admiration remains from afar.
