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

[Keeper!]

This would be ideal and some would say "impossible", but if there is any club that could make it happen...

De Zerbi is a shocking man manager, same school as Mancini.

Pep's greatest and least talked about strength is man management, it's outstanding and far more important than his tactical ability.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Is there a scenario where a like minded coach comes in for a year alongside Pep and is trained the pep way. Im thinking someone like De Zerbi.. A co-coaching 1 year only arrangement, that way the great man leaves his legacy and his work in safe hands.

No that’s unlikely to happen. And DeZerbi is a good manager, done nothing to suggest he is an elite manager

Arteta will take over when Pep leaves

There's a video of him as our assistant every goal against arsenal he sat down and didn't celebrate he's arsenal through and through

 

[Blue Llama]

This is absolutely what needs to happen

It's absolutely what won't happen

Best scenario (apart from Pep staying forever) is as follows.

- Pep signs for another year after next, taking his total to ten.

- Vinnie signs for Bayern and takes them to multiple league titles and CL finals (where we beat them twice), playing a city style of football.

- Bayern look to improve Vinnie's contract only for him to confess that he wants to return home to be with his family and the love of his life, City.

- Pep's leaves in a trail of glory having won another two trebles, crowning him as the untouchable, undesputed best manager the world has ever seen. He goes off on a much deserved sabbatical.

- The reins are handed over to Kompany who goes on to almost beat Pep's record during another ten year tenure at God's own club.

- The rest will be written in the stars.

Same but with Pep signing a new contract that keeps him here for 15 years. :-)

Yeah that would be best, but he's definitely going in the next year or two IMO

Lalalalalalalala I can't hear you

No chance, once he leaves the Arse he will go back home to Spain.

I wouldn't want him, unless he chilled out a bit. Supporting city is stressful enough without his antics adding to it

LOL , In saying that a lunatic on the touchline can be entertaining.

Whilst it's still early days, I like the look of Alonso so far.

Young,bright,no ego, multilingual & plays Pep ball.

One to watch.

This is my hope too.. my immediate thought when I heard that De Zerbi was off..

I like your version better

 

[Bluemanc100]

You really think the club would have two first team managers?

You really think a first team manager would want tobe an assistant for a year?

To then take over this club.. why the hell not

 

[bluemoon32]

Matters not a jot if any new manager idolises Pep or not, they'll always want to change things when they take control.
They'll always want to live/die off their own decisions

Madrid bound.

And humble.
The perfect trait that appeals to our owners.
This word above all as been bounded around lately from both our manager and players in their interviews

For many detractors Pep will never be the best because he never managed Villa, Crystal Palace or Stoke.

 

[NorCalBlue]

I’m sure this has already been discussed, but when Pep said he was “closer to leaving than to stay”, I got the impression he was making a joke in limited English that he was closer to the end than the beginning, meaning he’s not going to be here in another 8 years. Nothing he said afterwards suggested he was more likely to leave after next season - on the contrary, it seemed very dependent on how he feels then and how the players respond next year.
