Pep Guardiola

[suckabov]

His German. So. Great. And so likeable. There is no way you can't like him. But... Bayern... I'm a teensy bit heartbroken.

 

[Flavia]

I felt somewhat uneasy seeing his pics with Bayern. Don't know if I'll get used to it

 

[Stric]

I'm happy I'll get to see his suits on a regular basis again.

Me neither. It feels so wrong.

This. The man knows how to rock a suit. Barney Stinson would be proud.

I miss him so much already

 

[BarcaOG]

so sad that he's gone yet so happy to see him back in the football world ):!

[Cruijffista]

It hurts a little to see him coaching another squad.

Just one press conference and Germany is already in love with him. That charisma...

 

[numero]

really? How is German media responding?

 

[desoe]

Speaking an impressive german, switching to spanish, catalan and italian in same time, but also finding a time to crack a joke. How do you think?

Come back to Barcelona

I always liked Pep but he left the team when they needed him most so I would not want him back. He should have stayed and rebuilt it again, he was only manager for 4 seasons.

I think he will struggle to replicate what Jupp Heynckes did last year but will be a success in his own right.

 

[suckabov]

really? How is German media responding?

"The Messiah is here"
"The very first appearance of the star-coach was already impressive"
"Not only Bayern, but the whole Bundesliga can be happy. "
" Despite the enormous hype surrounding him Pep appeared cool and extremely likeable"

Other recurring words: humble, polite, friendly.

With Pep, I guess Bayern can finally fight the image they tend to have among Germans as the big, arrogant, capitalistic, aristocratic monster, which stands against anything the 'modest working class clubs' like Schalke, Dortmund etc embody. I just hope Hoeneß won't try to boss him too much, that will only lead to Pep failing to do his thing. He should be given enough freedom, which I hope Hoeneß will do (unless he goes to prison, of course).

Neither Dortmund nor Schalke embody that due to their current or history of debts With Bayern buying Götze and wanting Lewandowski, they are still a good way off from a 'humble' image and it would not suit the club at all, tbh.
