Barca coach Guardiola set to sign extension

Soccer Betting Lines

07/06/2010 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona President Sandro Rosell has confirmed that he has agreed a new two-year verbal contract with coach Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola, who has guided the Catalan club to back-to-back La Liga titles and one Champions League crown during two seasons at the helm, is currently out of contract at the Camp Nou.

The former club captain was happy to wait until Rosell took office before signing a new contract and that deal is likely to tie Guardiola to the Spanish giants for at least two more seasons.

The new contract is also likely to contain the option for a further 12 months.

"We've reached a verbal agreement and now the vice president for sport and Pep's lawyer are sorting out the final details," revealed Rosell.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
