He's still only 38 and has a lot of learning left to do before being our manager. Another year and a half managing our under 21s then hopefully guardiola comes and he is promoted to assistant manager, learns his trade from the best manager in the world before taking the reigns when pep leaves 3 years later as that's what our cycle seems to be. So if were showing an unproven manager a clear route to be the manager of a team that will be fighting for every trophy they are involved in within 5 years I'm sure he'll be happy to stay around, and learn to be a top manager rather than jumping ship which could destroy his career if it went badly and he was sacked from his club earlyAndy Morrisons jock strap said:Not sure where that leaves Viera don't think he will want to hang around for another 3 or 4 years as a number 2

Ferran and Txiki couple with their philosophy of managers having a natural cycle and lifespan says he is almost certain to be correct.
Pep here is a natural fit at some point in the near future and that is not a slight against Pellegrini. He has done a magnificent job but he will move on and we will move on.
That's football!

I don't know Salford Paul from Adam, or the other ITK posters on BM, but my take on the next Manager at City was always going to be Guardiola after Pellegrini, especially with the Barcelona link/conncetion with Soriano and Begiristain.
Guardiola was always going to go to Bayern before coming to the PL, even if he had been approached by City and other PL clubs.
Guardiola will carry on the work of Pellegrini, and just as importantly, the work and direction of the new training academy, which will be fully up and running by the time Guardiola is appointed as City's next Manager.
I'm not a betting Man, but if you fancy a long-term bet go for it. You might get some decent odds ATM. ;-)
Why on Earth would he want to manage Hull when he's won 2 Champions League titles?ifiwasarichfan said:We had another thread a couple of days ago titled something like - "Is Pep all that ?"
I made the case as did many others that he has had everything handed to him on a plate so far in his managerial career. In all probability, if he did eventually succeed Mr P he would be fine because we have the players, the passion, the financial clout.
He really should test himself with a "Gap" year and go and manage Hibs or Herenveen or Hull.
Or Hannover.ifiwasarichfan said:We had another thread a couple of days ago titled something like - "Is Pep all that ?"

Barcelona was a mess when he took over. He immediately sold Ronaldinho and completely reinvented that team around Iniesta and Xavi. He created an entirely new position for Lionel Messi, who became the best player of all time.ifiwasarichfan said:aguero93:20 said:Or Hannover.ifiwasarichfan said:We had another thread a couple of days ago titled something like - "Is Pep all that ?"

That's the point I am trying to make Kun.
Mr Mancini took a side that was selling it's best players and going bust to a trophy.
Taggert got Aberdeen to smash the Glasgow monopoly.
Clough took mid table division two sides to a European Cup win (Forest) and a semi final defeat under the dodgiest of circumstances (Derby).
Mr P has won titles all over South America, took two really unfashionable clubs to the brink of glory and then won two trophies in his first season in England.
He is so accustomed to the very highest level that he couldn't really mess it up if he ever became our manager but in football management terms he has had a silver spoon in his mouth from day one.
