Sacchi: Guardiola helped football evolve
Posted Wednesday, May 30, 2012 by ESPN
Former AC Milan manager Arrigo Sacchi believes Pep Guardiola's reign in Barcelona will be remembered by many.
After his fourteenth trophy in four years, Guardiola will no longer be at the helm of Barcelona next season. The Spaniard will be taking a sabbatical from football and is set to be replaced by his assistant Tito Vilanova.
Sacchi considers Guardiola to have transformed modern football, and he hopes the former Barcelona midfielder will return to the sport soon.
"It is a shame for all those who like beautiful football that he will leave Barca, he made football evolve and be at the top," he said to Esports Cope.
Guardiola was responsible for implementing the "Tiki-Taka" style of play that helped the Catalan club dominate Europe for most of his time in charge. Sacchi believes the accomplishment will not be forgotten any time soon.
"I would like to congratulate him for his 14 titles in four years,"
"I think that everyone will remember Barca in 20 years because they revolutionised football."
