That’s why former Barcelona midfielder and currently the coach of the Argentine u20 team, Javier Mascherano feels like it would be a bit hard to reach the level of Guardiola in his coaching career.

“I intend to resemble Luis Enrique closely [as a coach] because I know I’ll never be able to reach Pep [Guardiola],” he said. “I lived three spectacular years with Luis Enrique. When we talk about the importance of coaches for a footballer it has nothing to do with the titles but with the importance in your career.

“The most influential may be Pep because of the drastic change but Luis Enrique gave our ideas another twist. Pep is incomparable, a genius impossible to imitate. “I think Luis is up there with Pep but he is more attainable for those of us who want to be coaches.”

Mascherano retired from football in 2020 and has taken to coaching already and he was a player for the Blaugrana when both Guardiola and Enrique were coach of team.
