Manchini wanted Carles Puyol in his headquarters 24.11.2015

The former Barcelona captain, Carles Puyol, has admitted that he was surprised and flattered by the offer, which Roberto Manchini made him last year. The Italian turned to the legend of the Catalans with a request to join his coaching staff, but Puyol politely declined the offer.
'I received an offer that surprised me and flattered me. However, when I decided to stop with football, I told myself it would take some time to rest.', said the defender.
So in the headquarters of the Manchini instead of Puyol we will see another footballer of the Catalans, Silvinho, who played at Manchester City when the Italian was leading the team.
'I wanted to play football till the age of 41 years as Paolo Maldini, but my knee had other ideas.', Puyol added with a smile.
