Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

As far as I can remember, Pep hasn't said he won't manage another club. It's a possibility if he leaves City in a year or two. Thus the question about his destination. And it seems that no other club can offer him better (non-financial) conditions than City. Therefore, if he wants to manage at club level for another 5 or 10 years, leaving City is not very likely. Unless City win everything this and/or next season and he decides he can't improve on that.

If I were to put myself in Pep's shoes and mind, I would find the new emerging CL fresh managers tactics as a great inspiration and challenge to take on.
Those couple of them who have transferred lesser squads to engines which regulary defeat much bigger clubs and budgets with a feisty pressing style and entertaining games. Pep see this development and probably admire them for that, but he will not roll over and quit at City until he has proven to himself and everybody that he is the better tactician and he can antidote that.
If he quits PL before doing this, he knows he will regret it the rest of his life.
He would then be concidered the ultimate and undisputed PL manager of. all times, putting Ferguson discussions to bed.
 
He's pretty much completed European football.

I reckon the only thing left for him if he wants it, is to challenge at international level.

You may get your wish. Luis Enrique has said he will leave PSG summer 2027, coincidently the same time Peps contract comes to an end.
Personally I think Pep has got this squad playing well & there's more to come. If he wants to sign another extension then I'm happy with that.
 
Watched the start of the "Pep Cam" from the Liverpool game on the City Web Site. I wanted to watch Pep's touchline celebrations but the constant spitting and flicking saliva just put me off, I just couldn't watch it.

The funny thing is… I’ve actually changed my stance on this now lol, Kompany would be my first choice right now. Followed by enrique or Iraola. However I hope pep stays another 10 years.

there are a few more photos of our starting line-ups, I didn’t have time to download them.
As a rule, whenever we went out this season with a back four of O’Reilly, Gvardiol, Dias and Nunes (with Khusanov appearing periodically), we looked impressive. Arsenal are the only team we haven’t beaten in those matches.
 
Absolute joke subs from him, totally killed us by removing Doku and Cherki and leaving Marmouch on the bench until the 86th minute, how he thought we were going to score with Savinho, Bobb and Foden who stunk the place out today is beyond me.
 
4-2-3-1 without wingers dead today. Newcastle show how to defend that system with five players in the middle and leaving the sides 1 vs 1. Wingbacks are not wingers. They need to get into that space.
 
All on pep today starting Bernie, cherki & Foden away to Newcastle is mental

Game management shocking today

Why would you bring savio on when we need to score ??????

Pep is running out of energy & ideas these last18 months.
 
Nothing wrong with that starting 11, the fire power was there to score loads of goals, that's on the players.

Those subs were the most nonsensical thing though. But the sub players of course get blame as well.

Foden was the worst player, so not subbing him as one of the first was probably Pep hoping when he should have just let Cherki or Bobb go in the middle.

Savinho wide left was awful. Can we never see this again please?

Reijnders did nothing in Bernies role.

Marmoush subbed on so late but when he did, he was given Fodens role instead of Dokus (since Sav went wide left).

Nonsensical.
 
I must say after 2-1 Newcastle changed to 5-4-1. That's why Pep introduced wingers to play 3-3-3-1. Didn't work but had tactical sense.
 
Brave to play such a young and lightweight midfield at Newcastle, but then maybe we thought they’d be without a few players. Unfortunately they weren’t. We’ve just got too many young and inexperienced players to meet fire with fire in such environments, especially when the officials are pathetically weak, so if Rodri and Kovacic are going to remain sidelined, we need to start considering an alternative. It would be deeply frustrating if the talents of this group went unrewarded this season all for the want of some physical protection.
