, with his own role as a deep-lying playmaker typifying many of the qualities he asks for from his players as a manager.He had short spells at various clubs, including Roma and Al Ahli, before retiring as a player in 2006, aged 35.
In Spain, Guardiola played alongside some of Barcelona's most iconic players, including Ronald Koeman, Ronaldo and Luis Enrique.Instead, he opted for Italy legend Roberto Baggio, who he played alongside at Brescia between 2001 and 2003.
