Next Manager after Pep

[CALCIO POTATO]

What we need is one of Peps fingers so we could charge it with electricity and create Pep junior, just like carry on screaming

Appointing ten Hag would make the most sense: similar ethos, knows Guardiola's system, and is just as driven/obsessed. Would be the most seamless transition.

There will be no seamless transition when Pep leaves, we’re losing the greatest manager of this generation.

Haag would be my choice tho.

True, but in comparison to Hughes> Mancini> Pellegrini> Guardiola, it would be comparatively seamless.

Burke by name...

Well come on wise guy. Instead of being distinctly unfunny why don't you provide the members with a reasoned opinion as to whom you think is most likely to fill Pep's shoes.

I see you’ve tipped Vieira, but with no management experience of the Champions League, none even in any European competition, I cannot see the board anointing him as Guardiola’s immediate successor.

Whoever we get ain't going to follow Peps stats no chance we will have to hope we can still be challenging for trophies, its something we all will have to get use to.

If you think I'm going to engage in any supposed meaningful dialogue with somebody who stated that Patrick Vieira is the 'only candidate' to replace Pep, then you really are mad.

Can't disagree with Ten Hag's ethos, but my only slight concern on this potential appointment is a lack of experience in coaching world class footballers who are already at the top of their game.

Ten Hag seems to be a great coach for the younger players, which is a bit easier as they are more of a sponge when implementing tactics & positional play.

Would prefer a coach who has success managing a more balanced squad such as Luis Enrique as if Ten Hag does rock up at City after Pep, he's going to have a world class squad at his disposal which comes with its own internal team challenges.

Good points, but ten Hag would also have an academy of young players that should be pushing to be included into that first team, something he is better accustomed to doing. He’s now created two teams that have pushed into the latter stages of the Champions League so he’s got talent.

Pep had only worked at Barcelona B before going to Barcelona first team. Having worked at the biggest club in Germany (not as the first team manager, I know, but watching Pep’s every step) and then at the biggest club in the Netherlands is good enough preparation. He excites me much more than Enrique
