Spanish reports suggest that Barcelona will move for Athletic Bilbao coach Marcelo Bielsa should Pep Guardiola leave.

Barcelona could turn to Athletic Bilbao coach Marcelo Bielsa should Pep Guardiola depart the club, according to AS.

Speculation that Guardiola will leave the La Liga champions at the end of the season has been rife, with a move to another league or a year-long sabbatical both seen as options.

Current Barcelona players Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano and Alexis Sanchez have all praised the 56-year-old Athletic Bilbao coach in the past.

Bielsa's innovative style has earned him plaudits across the footballing world, as well as the nickname of "El Loco".
