Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is backing Sergi Busquets for a big coaching career.

Busquets is leaving Barcelona this summer for the final leg of his playing career.

Former Barca coach Guardiola sent a message to the midfielder at his farewell party this week: "I'm waiting for you as a coach, I'm going to beat you, I'm going to take the ball away from you.

"We know what we talked about when we went to the fields of Pobla de Mafumet or Manresa. There he would show his father's gene, facing off with each other, and the next day he would put on his mother's good boy's face.

"He has great parents."
