Laporta wants to bring back Pep to Barcelona in 2016

Joan Laporta will stand in the 2016 Barcelona presidential election and the former club chief plans to bring back Pep Guardiola as sporting director.

Laporta led Barca to 12 titles in his first mandate between 2003 and 2010, hiring current Bayern Munich boss Guardiola as first-team coach in 2008 for what would be the most successful spell in the club's history.

Guardiola eventually left in 2012 to take a sabbatical in New York after problems with Laporta's successor Sandro Rosell, but the pair could return to Camp Nou in tandem next year.
Thegoalmac understands Laporta has already made contact with Guardiola about a possible link-up and the Catalan coach is open to a sensational return. However, the 43-year-old, who won 14 out of a possible 19 titles as Barca boss between 2008 and 2012, would favour the role of sporting director.
