Guardiola took over Barcelona when they didn't win a single trophy the previous two seasons then winning the treble having sold Deco and Ronaldinho. He won the treble with a spanish team for the first time ever.
Not that it is saying everything about him as a coach but I can't really say he made that Barcelona team weaker.
{Ed001's Note - he did that and then made it worse, I don't see what is so difficult about it. He improves it initially but then players get tired of his methods. Oh and selling Deco (who was average) and Ronaldinho (who was too busy partying and missing training and Rijkaard wanted to sell anyway) was not exactly making it more difficult to compete. It allowed Messi to come through. He had the best Spanish team handed to him on a plate, the best team in Europe in fact, and turned it into the best team in Spain.
Guardiola is someone who has a short term boosting effect and then gradually drags teams down with his micro-management. The team that he left behind were not playing anything like as well as he initially got them playing but he refused to adapt his methods at all to bring the best out of the players. He just continued with the same training over and over. When it was no longer working he whined about the players, rather than looked at himself and made some changes.}
