Pep Guardiola

[Gareth Bale]

Harry Redknapp is available but England want him so you have to be quick.

...pray for the best, prepare for the worst..

Mundo Deportivo says Rosell already know Pep's decision. We have to wait.

 

[Ender]

I can't take this suspense anymore. How many years until Xavi gives in and becomes coach?

Ofcourse he knows and that too for months. Yesterday's meeting was Rosell's last bid.

Hopefully, 4 or 5.

And that means Pep's probably really not staying...

If all of our will power works and his love for Barca does it tonight ...otherwise everything suggests....

 

[SeloBarca]

He should feel motivated to stay, not forced.

 

[MagIX]

Apparently AVB has already offered himself to Barça.

i hope it is a joke. villas-boas FUCK YOU

I think Pep will leave. On a human level, his stress levels must be through the roof. His hair is all but gone, he looked like he was over it at the Chelsea 2nd leg (brutal truth) and just doesn't look like coaching is what he wants to do right now. He has family after all. I wouldn't be mad at him, although this is probably not the best time to hear such sad news given the horrendous week we've had.

Villas Boas is great if the team attackers are good.
In Porto he made Falcao, Hulk and Varela "eat" all the defenses.

In Chelsea well... Di Matteo only did better in the luck section.

I have a feeling Pep will announce his departure tomorrow. If he wanted to stay, I think he would have said so earlier, to give the team a late-season morale boost. This would be good timing, only Copa remains this year, it gives the team a little time before summer to sign the new coach. I think it is conceivable that he will just take a one-year leave of absense. The current coach at Bayern, I believe, is now in his third stint with the team. Pep could come back down the road.

Bielsa is very different from any other coach, this veteran team might have difficulty adjusting. But, he is a football genius, and the style he believes in is fairly Barca-like. I think Emery could do a good job with this team. Does the German national coach speak any Spanish?

There's one in sport.

Player/coach, next year. He can get his license this summer instead of playing in the Euros.
