Guardiola in a rush to history

Third-year coach would be first to lead Barcelona to 12 titles with victory over FC Porto on Friday

PARIS - Josep Guardiola can become the most decorated coach in Barcelona's history when the reigning European champions take on FC Porto in Friday's UEFA Super Cup showpiece in Monaco.

Guardiola, 40, has needed just three years in charge of the club he represented with such distinction as a player to equal Johann Cruyff's record tally of 11 titles at the Camp Nou.
