Pep is a competitor above all.
He is now is the most competitive league plus is working with his friends. Then there is Klopp with Liverpool, now Mourinho with Spurs, the surprise package Chelsea led by Lampard. Arsenal will sack Emery and replace him with possibly another top manager, then you have United who will surely invest money. The competition is unreal here and just when you think the level might decrease it gets even tougher.
The media have also been on City’s back as usual and instead of pushing Pep away (their original goal), I believe they have made him more eager to stay and prove them wrong.
Pep likes a challenge and he has a big one here, continue to fight for the Premier League and finally win the Champions League, Overhaul the squad and bring through youngsters.
He has exciting teenagers like Foden, Garcia, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis coming through. Surely he wants to see them develop.
Many players like Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus, Rodri, etc are yet to reach their peak.
Now he will have the challenge of replacing Silva, Aguero, Kompany still.
There is a lot to do here. I don’t see why he would leave. Maybe if there was something attractive abroad but as I said years ago I don’t really see it.
Germany- think it’s the last place he would go.
Spain- back to Barcelona, unlikely
France-no challenge in a one team league where he’ll be judged only on a knockout competition, the CL
Italy- the most likely option imo, but again, not much attraction there right now. Juve are winning the league no problem and have Sarri. Again there he would be judged solely on the CL. Inter have Conte who I think will stay there a few years, he’s doing well. Finally Milan are in turmoil, with little money to invest and far away from top 4 even.
National team- think he’s still too young for that.
If he were to leave I could see him going to Serie A but not anytime soon.
All signs point to him staying here for the next few years.
