What's next for Pep Guardiola?

Yeah, and Ancelotti to Bayern, says ZDF.
Meh.

Futbol is trolling

Is anyone really surprised with his spiel at this point? Of course he's going to criticize Pep and support Enrique. If Enrique left or was sacked then Futbol would immediately become his #1 critic. If Pep came back, futbol would become his #1 supporter, talking about him being the greatest manager to ever grace the game. This isn't really surprising.

It's hilarious that these days, when Pep fails to win a CL with Bayern (which he may do yet), he's apparently achieved nothing with Bayern

Meh. It's not needed this season anymore. In a way, I'd rather he don't.

Meh ?

He'll make Bundesliga competitive.What more do you want ?

Thomas Müller on Pep: "Jupp Heynckes left & we won the treble, we can win it with Guardiola!"

Müller: "For us it doesn't matter whether Pep stays or leaves. We want him to lift all the trophies with us at the end of the season."

I wouldn't expect it any other way.

Kroos on Pep

"He has been the best coach I've ever had in terms of his idea of football, the plan on how to play an opponent, and how to present solutions to his own team," Kroos said

Lets hope so.I don't want 1 or 2 clubs stacking up all the best talent in the world.

Cowardiola.

Can't see Suarez leaving his childhood favorite club where he can dominate football with his 2 best mates for 3-5 more seasons to come back to PL where he was harassed for 4 years. Specially to *bleep* United or Chelsea to ruin his legacy at Liverpool

You guys realize the source for the Suarez 'demand' cited in that ESPN article is the "Star"

Also, Rummenigge, smug as ever, tells BILD that he thinks he knows where Pep is going, but he "would like to leave it for Pep or his new employer to announce it". Thanks Kalle, that's real generous.

But that means City it is.

He wanted to play for Arsenal.
As if he cares about Liverpool legacy.... Biggest fraud he has ever pulled and pool fans believes it

Di Marzio reported months ago that Pep had an agreement in principle with City months ago when none were prepared to believe at that point.

He may not be pinpoint accurate when it comes to transfer rumours but when it comes to coaching changes, he's highly credible.

I'm sure you were '' at this fraudulent Italian source when he was the first to break the Pep-Bayern rumours.

Brother, you need to understand a couple of things

1) if I have badmouthed Di Marzio, I've done so only for fun and most of all only to spite you and ES.
I know full well he's more reliable than the rest, but he's your inverse Pardew, if you catch my drift. The fact you feel the need to insist on his credibility proves my windup worked.

2) not just Di Marzio was reporting Pep to City rumours in the past, but also all kinds of drunkards, clowns and comedians ranging from Didi Hamann to Tancredi Palmeri. Pep leaving Bayern for City was reported to happen as early as summer 2014, then again last summer, because of all kinds of ridiculous reasons, and it all proved wrong.

If there's rumours about one of your own all the time, you push back, I'm sure you of all people can understand.
It's like if Pogba was joining Barca next summer, you'd still have been right to push back to silly Pogba rumours in the last windows.

if pep leaves Bayern for city then its only for his thirty pieces of silver

apart from your world famous academy.

And, speaking to Omnisport, Thon - who won three Bundesliga titles and the Ufa Cup with Bayern - said: "To substitute players like Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben with Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman was a masterpiece.

"To develop a player like Jerome Boateng and widen Philipp Lahm’s position, as he is now a right-winger, Rafinha on the left side - Pep Guardiola revolutionised in places we didn't even think about.

"The peak would be to put Manuel Neuer on the right wing. Even this wouldn't be impossible." 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rummenigge has revealed he knew what was coming weeks ago, telling Germany’s Bild newspaper: “He came over to me two weeks ago at our Christmas party and told me that he was looking for a new challenge. He was almost apologetic. I’m not disappointed in him.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sammer lauded Guardiola and claimed he had been treated unfairly by the media, because of his success.

“In Germany we always have the feeling that when somebody’s getting so much praise, then there has got to be another extreme and they’ve got to be brought down somehow,” Sammer told Sky Sport Deutschland. “What he has achieved, also for German football, is extraordinary and we’ve got to recognise that.

“We have got to bring an end to seeing negatively somebody who works so painstakingly, as if tomorrow never comes. In recent days, Pep’s come off far too badly. What he does with his hard work, his dedication and his positive craziness can be discussed, but it cannot ever be questioned.”

Hans is on total fire in this thread. 10/10

I'd love him to go to United. It would be a challenge for him which I'm sure he would succeed. It's true that in England there are 2-3 more hard teams than in other leagues, but differently from in Germany or La Liga, you then don't need 90+ points to win the league.

I'm sure with the consistency he brings to the table, he could make United a champion team in his first season, kicking out the rotten apples if there's any (Rooney?), adding a couple of pieces and developing to the max some misused players (Herrera, Martial).

Or he could take a sabbatical and wait for us to resign him when Luis Enrique leaves.

Pep is smart not a coward for going to City, there is nothing wrong with going to a club that gives you the best opportunity to succeed. Almost every manager does the same.

Hope he gets exposed though if he choses City.

I wouldn't go that far. Even in BM it took a year for him and the team to adjust together (Yes, he did win 4 titles including the league). At United he'll have a big task depending on their activities in the transfer window.
