Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[FantasyIreland]

I have a feeling both pep and messi will be in Italy next year

You got wind of our preseason fixtures?

I would love Pep to stay but with his wife and family back in Spain now instead of Manchester I don’t see it.

Maybe they can come back to Manchester?

Whenever pep's leaves city, I see him going to Italy. He would love to change the Italian way of approaching football.

His wife moved last year itself to take care of business. She has a store in spain

What's wrong?

He did 5 years at Barca and needed a year off
--> 4 years with the 1st team, 1 year with a 4th division B team - apples & oranges. Might as well point out he spent an additional 20 years at Barca since he was a ball boy, youth & senior player too

He has completed 4 seasons with City's senior team and already acknowledged that he has gone beyond what he believes is the typical cycle for a coach at this level considering the demands. To go beyond that, despite having a fairly ideal situation at City does not change the premise of my original post - a reset is needed for a coach like him

We'll see of course but I am skeptical and see him closer to the end of his tenure at City

Your arguing for the sake of it!
I said he was at Barca for 5 years as a coach...... Which he was and he needed a break afterwards. Since then he will have spent 8 years at 2 other big clubs(at the end of this year) with a lot of pressure.
So agreeing with you that I think he will walk but I also added I think he might want a break.... Especially given he has just lost his mum.

Not sure why you were being a dick then!

I Messi is to come next year then Pep stays, he would I imagine love to work with him again.

For what it is worth, i still think he will extend. I thought that since February right through to the conclusion of our CAS case. Something seems to have shifted following the end of the post lockdown season, seemingly not just with pep but the club as well (as i read into it anyway). But part of me thinks he is still keen to extend, and the club to have him, but neither feel the need to rush it and both seem comfortable taking the time to make sure it is right.

I think those saying he won't because he hasn't stayed longer before are latching onto a bit of an obvious headline narrative. May well end up being his last year, but if it does, it won't be Because he has never done it before elsewhere, it will be because something has changed. He has previously simply not been at the right clubs. Or, not at the right time at least.

Similarly with people claiming burnout, because the headlines constantly spoonfeed that he burns out, so we now look for a sign of it and conclude that even losing with dodgy VAR decisions must be because he is suffering burnout.

Time will tell, i am still in the extend camp though.

Really intrigued to know what you mean by this.
