I actually hold this against him and think he's an asshole. Just finish this City "project" and come back. All his past players will be gone by then, Laporta president, fucking do it.
Hell Zidane is staying longer at Madrid than he did at Barca.
He's already done that at City. All his coaching jobs have been different.
At Barca he built his style with a homegrown core.
At Bayern he implemented his style in another culture, more known for physical football.
At City he's basically building his dream team.
Don't think he has much to gain from returning as Barca coach, no matter the freedom he gets.

It's clear a lot of Pep's issues stems from his poor relationship with Rosell and Bartomeu. I mean the guy blasted Rosell publicly in a press conference lol.
I doubt he'll return to Barca as a manager, but if there's even a tiny chance of that happening it's with Laporta.
He doesn't even have that at Man City.

Why not though? If the board is to his liking? Worried he'll get hold to a too-high standard after his first stint? Not to worry, we're trimming our expectations with each season lately.

This is always true, CL is a VERY high variance competition.
Pep has performed greatly for many years, but it is very much normal to not reach a final in 10 years, even if you are one of the top.5 teams every year.
I will point out, I believed in City when they were down 0-1 in the first leg, but their turnaround was much more distinct and dominating than what I expected.

Pep will be at City for a while yet most likely.
Has always seen City as his legacy and has a team that could go on to even more success.
Anywhere else from EPL is a step down for coaches and where they want to be at moment.
Unless family situation changes or something non football related cant see him leaving for years yet despite the fact the Catalan press will start claiming he may come back if/when City win the CL.

I don’t think there is a chance he comes back.
It still pisses me off he left in the first place. The team was pretty much in its prime and he still could have gotten results.
