Pep Guardiola
The footballing mastermind came on board in 2008 and the rest, as they say, is history. Football is said to be a beautiful game and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona justified the phrase by playing brilliant and, at times, ridiculously mesmerising football.
Considered among the greatest coaches to ever graced the beautiful game, Guardiola's Barcelona became an all-conquering side with three La Liga, two Copa del Rey, three Supercopa de España, two UEFA Champions League, two UEFA Super Cup, two FIFA Club World Cup titles. He ended his four-year Barcelona stint with 14 honours.
The genius of Lionel Messi was also in full bloom during his time and the concept of a false nine striker became immensely popular. Guardiola left his post after the end of 2011-12 season despite the club trying their best to give him a new contract.
