Pep Guardiola will return to coaching in 2013 after his year-long sabbatical from football, according to former Barcelona president Joan Laporta.
Guardiola departed Barcelona at the end of last season to have a break from football after four seasons at the helm of the Catalan giants.
The Spaniard has been linked witha number of major European clubs since he left Barcelona, including the big spending Paris Saint-Germain, although Laporta believes the French club would not suit Guardiola's style.
