Next Manager after Pep

There is something after Pep. It's called Apocalypse. Look it up in Revelations to find out all about it.

Everyone is allowed to want whoever they want, but reality usually has a different outcome. As for the Barcelona/Pep example: They had a structure in place and a squad to back him. At Barcelona, even if you fail you’d still end up at top 2. And he’d shown at Barcelona B he was a genius already. They don’t promote too many Barcelona B managers for first team historically. It’s an entirely different situation and we don’t know how long Txiki and others will even be around here post Pep. We can’t afford to fail an appointment of a manager. Just look at United or even Barcelona. They have to be tested and successful.

Absolutely, Barcelona had a structure & squad in place the same as City do. I'm not saying Vinny would be a success at City (nobody knows) but h'es captained the club under Pep & understands the City style.
There's no guarantee that any manager you employee will be successful.

Nothing wrong with wanting an ex legend taking on the roll. Look at Pep, he was promoted to the Barcelona head coach & look what happened there.

Role*

And indeed Guardiola was promoted with little experience. Luckily for him and Barcelona he was also the greatest strategist in the history of the sport.

Do you fancy a gamble on Vinny being the same? I don’t.

Suggesting someone go from managing Burnley in the championship - which is about as far away stylistically from City as it’s possible to get - to getting the job at City is laughable, I don’t care how big a club legend they are.

Solskaer was a great player for United. It doesn’t mean he was qualified to manage them.

This talk about Kompany succeeding Pep is completely stupid and small-time.

Who would you suggest is an elite world class manager?

Off the top of my head - Enrique, Ancelotti.

We have a structure but there is absolutely no guarantee we’ll stay on top like Barcelona. The stakes are much higher. You can look at United again, how much they invest and the gambles they took with managers were failure after failure.
The name I had always thought would be the first to replace Pep is now at United. Then I go to the names I mentioned, Nagelsmann, Flick and Ruben Amorim (outside chance). I repeat, I have a feeling it will be a German, that’s the philosophy you want to bet on outside of Pep right now. Can I see it being Luis Enrique? I could, but that would depend on the other Barcelona guys staying, and even then Txiki did work with him as manager as he had with Pep. I also feel that Enrique would be à frustrating failure, with us and everyone expecting a continuation of Pep which he likely wouldn’t deliver, and it would never take off

As much as I like and admire Ancelotti, I think he’s staying at Madrid for a few years still, and his style doesn’t match ours. Enrique does and I can see it, like I said, but I have my doubts.

Ten Hag, if he does well at United and we feel he is ready for the step up.

The priority should always be to extend Pep’s contract but if he does decide to leave the replacement must be a manager who has experience in the Champions League. It cannot be Arteta, Vieira or Kompany until they have proven themselves in the Champions League.
