Its not about the wins or the points but more about the way Leicester are playing. They play like a Pep team, of course with a lesser quality but the style is evident. I might even say that for the first time i see a team coached by a former assistant or player of Pep so close in style to the...

Carlos Vicens is sitting right next to Pep at this game so i suppose the question about his assistant is already cleared internally.

Enzo Maresca is an interesting case. Born in Italy but his first professional club was West Brom. Then he spent a certain amount of time back in Italy playing for Juventus and Marcelo Lippi and then he went in Spain and played for Sevilla. Maresca is actually a Manuel Pellegrini disciple and i...

Ancelotti after Pep is a big NO.. did you all forgot what happened at Bayern when the Italian took over from Pep.. De Zerbi has still a lot to prove but stylewise he is the closest to Guardiola..

I highly doubt that Arteta has any chance in the future to become Real Madrid coach due to his Barcelona connections. Future coach of Barcelona - yeah may be, but not to Real. Madrid will go for someone like Tuchel or Pochettino when Ancelotti retires..

During his Barcelona days his main assistant was Tito Vilanova. Domenec Torrent was just an analyst. Torrent was Guardiolas right hand during his Bayern stint and during his first 2 seasons at City. Arteta became his main assistant during 2018-2019 season and stayed on until December 2019 when...

I think what Lillo offered to Pep is his experience as a coach in dealing with some situations within the squad but most importantly he made Guardiola to change his mind and to return to the basics with the way how he wants City to play.. right now City really look like a proper Guardiola team...

Erik Ten Hag.

All of you who keep quoting me it seems are forgetting that Bernardo Silva is the one who wants out.. And as Guardiola likes to say he wants to have players in the squad who really want to play for City, no more no less..

Felix wasted two years of his career already, he is 21 and needs some coaching but under the guidance of Pep i can see him being the next big thing in world football..the swap deal Bernardo-Felix is a no brainer from a City point of view..

This is the guy for City! Swap deal Bernardo - Felix and everything would be back to the normal again and finally all are gonna be happy.

It will be very interesting if this deal goes through. Cristiano Ronaldo would have been played for most of the best managers in the world in the last 20 years ... He played for Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez, Zinedine Zidane, Max Allegri and now for Pep Guardiola...

Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT a Guardiola type of player. And guess what Erling Haaland is not too. But Harry Kane IS so there is your answer lol

I expect a real treble - PL winners, FA Cup Winners and CL winners.

And Tuchel would be an ideal replacement of Pep when the time comes.This is not my opinion, its actually Guardiola's wich he expressed to the Bayern hierarchy back then.They didnt listen to him but i think City's board might listen..

Joao Felix as a false nine in a Guardiola coached City would be amazing to see. The portuguese is an immense talent and is wasting his time in Simeone's team although he has adapted there well and learned to work hard for the team wich is a bonus.

You can add to the list Thomas Tuchel (who will be available soon and is closest tactically to the Pep's style), Erik Ten Hag (worked with Pep at Bayern), Peter Bosz (your typical Cruyffian enthusiast) and so on.. even Roberto De Zerbi and his gung-ho style at Sassuolo.. the question is are...

City should consider carefully what to do after/when Pep leaves. I believe the main idea of the owners was Pep to be to City what Cruyff was to Barca. Not only to win some trophies while playing proactive attacking football but to instill his philosophy as a basic dna of the whole club. So...

What about Xabi Alonso?

It's as simple as it is - if City want to keep the positional play as a vital system to how the club wants to play after Pep's gone Pochettino is a no go from the start, as well are most of the so called elite managers. Best options would be Ten Hag or Thomas Tuchel, depending on their...
