Messi urges Pep to sign extension

Since Guardiola appointment in 2008,Barca has led to successive league titles and also creep up the Champions League, Copa del Rey, Supercopa de Espana, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup in 2009.

For the FIFA Coach of the Year award,he has been shortlisted despite the team is on top of La Liga.

Pep is currently preferring short term deals as he is out of contract at the end of the season.When agreeing his extension a year ago, he said that "a coach of Barca can't be here for life"

Messi expose that the team is currently struggling to envisage life at the club without Guardiola.

"The truth is, after everything he's created and how he's rallied the team around him, it's difficult to imagine," he said. "A Barcelona without him wouldn't be like it is.

"(I hope) he renews when he can, and stays.

"He's on top of us with all of the details - not only with me but with the whole squad. He's always looking for the best positioning for me near the midfielders so that I can have as much contact with the ball as I can in play."
