Pep's contract situation

[adr2.8i]

My hunch is that he'll renew for another 2 years with an option to extend for an extra year.

That pep is signing a new deal next month, not Bellingham

Yep, close the thread.

He will only leave City if he wants a break.

I’m not at all sure national team management will suit him.
He will not be able to spend enough time with players to drill into them his systems and patterns of play.
He may well be tempted down that route once he’s won he CL a few times with us though.
Would settle for that!

I agree. He will only manage an international team when he becomes an elder statesman (hopefully England). His behaviour yesterday suggests he is not yet ready to give up the daily excitement of managing a team in the biggest football league in the world. I don't think he will go to Italy either because the standards are just too low there these days. He wants to manage at the elite level.

With his comments about the players still responding to him, he’s definitely staying.

That’s usually his benchmark for whether he thinks he needs to move on or not.

I honestly think he will renew, he still seems very very fresh and hungry. I also think there’s a bit of mind games at play here - whilst he won’t be saying it he’ll want to see that the players are as hungry as he is, that they desperately want him to stay and fight as much as him, and I think we saw that at the end of the game on Saturday.

I can see him heading up an association though. Pretty sure he’s been consulted by the FA on how he gets teams to play the same brand of football. The Fa want St George’s Park to produce teams that all play the same football so movement between the age groups is smooth. No better team than us at that.

He'll take next year off, Tony book will step in until pep returns
