Ex-Barca chief Calzada unsurprised Guardiola taking Man City job

Former Barcelona marketing chief Esteve Calzada isn't surprised Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has agreed to join Manchester City.

Calzada, who was chief commercial officer at the Nou Camp between 2002 and 2007, says Guardiola's decision to accept the Manchester City job will only enhance a league which has become the dominant financial power in Europe.

"Coming to the Premier League is an aspiration for any person working in football - players, managers, executives," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"For some people it is like fulfilling a dream. Guardiola going to Manchester City can only enhance the Premier League."
