Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that he would opt to listen to Coldplay in the changing room over any other band.

The Spaniard, who left Camp Nou at the end of last season, has suggested that listening to singer Chris Martin would help him get ready for a game if he were still playing.

"I would never tell the players what to listen to in the dressing room, but I would choose Coldplay," The Sun quotes Guardiola as saying.

Meanwhile, Guardiola will take up his new role as Bayern Munich boss in the summer.
