Pep Guardiola / New Barca Manager

Totally agree, apart from the last bit. Not sure if they'll bounce straight back. Although to be fair they've still been destroying everyone this season too...just ran out of steam a bit.

If Mourinho leaves Real (and I think he will, if not this summer then certainly the next), Real Madrid will crash and burn. The man leaves nothing but scorched earth behind when he leaves a club. Barca are still the same group of immensely talented players who have incredible chemistry playing together. They're a better team, still.

If FSG are really serious about putting LFC back on the map they would sign this man, we have half his youth staff on the payroll anyways

He doesn't want another job. He wants to rest and give his hair a chance to grow back.

I don't disagree with any of that although I was thinking about the CL as well.

It's always hard to say when is the best time to call it quits.. It may look like he's walking away a loser without putting up a fight, he's done fantastically well and doesn't deserve the criticism he's been getting IMO

EDIT: What are the chances his next job will be back at Barcelona? I have never bothered to keep up with this story as its every year it seems.

Just a question, If YOU (anyone) were in charge of Barcelona, how would you take them forward?

Retry the whole Ibra thing with Llorente?
What CB's would you bring in if any?
Is Valdes good enough?
Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquets and Xavi in the same XI?

Sell their best players for peanuts to Liverpool

Rosell´s plan B thought to involve Bielsa with Pep´s blessing

I reckon he'll end up here as Kenny's assistant.

Cavani would be the striker i'd sign
Agger at Centre back
bring Pepe back home
Rotate them, so to keep them fresh

[kingfunk]

So we are signing Pep and Messi

Wow - from the beeb, so close to 3 and 4 as well.

Guardiola stepped up from manager of the Barcelona B in 2008 and has gone on to become the most successful coach in the club's illustrious history.

During his four-year tenure, Guardiola has won two Champions League crowns, three La Liga trophies, one Copa del Rey, three Supercopas, two Uefa Super Cups and two Fifa Club World Cups.
