However, a potential presidential candidate for FC Barcelona, Victor Font has high hopes for the club. He has stated that he wants a reunion that will see Josep Pep Guardiola make a historical return to the Nou Camp and reunite with his favorite Lionel Messi. The Catalans had not won a single trophy in the 2019/20 season as they went completely trophyless for the first time in 12 years.
Even before the trophyless season, the Blaugrana faced horrible defeats and left the champions league every season in the knockout stages. Former boss, Ernesto Valverde, won two league titles for the Catalans but the attractive football and the institution that Barca stands for, the institution laid by Johan Cruyff and carried forward by Josep Pep Guardiola, went missing. The outstanding tiki-taka football was nowhere to be seen. That philosophy was what the club stood for and it must be an extremely drastic time for the fans to not be able to witness what they actually were used to witness previously.
Hence, potential presidential candidate Victor Font thinks that it is extremely necessary to bring Guardiola back home, in order to bring the whole aura back in the team. A Guardiola and Messi link-up will be something that the football world will not easily miss out on if it happens for the second time.
"“It is our intention to build a very strong and competitive project and we are very lucky at Barca that we inherited a style of play that Johan Cruyff instilled throughout the organisation, and most of the best professionals who know about this style are also fans and love the club – like Pep Guardiola, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol.” Font said.“They are all legends that love Barcelona but do not work for Barca today – we need to bring them back to ensure we will have a very competitive project.”Source Goal"
Font thinks that he can convince Messi to extend his contract and stay in Spain. His idea is to get the current Manchester City coach back as soon as possible.
