Pep's contract situation

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Raises more questions than answers for me.

Like what?
Perhaps he will sign on again after he completes 10yrs?
I really wouldn't worry. Pep deserves to do what he deems fit after the last 8 years...

We need a rebuild, I just don’t want Pep to roll with his trusted guys for another season

No reason to think he would.

New DoF with fresher ideas along with Pep for a season isn't that bad situation.

No reason to think he would.

Pep is the smartest manager there’s ever been pretty much. If for one second he thought he didn’t have the backing of the club for transfers he’d just go. He knows the squad needs a fair bit of work and if he signs an extension, there’s no way that’s being put on hold for another year.

Jesus christ , if pep stays another season dont spend it worrying about when he leaves , enjoy him whilst it lasts !

Of course I'm pleased Pep is staying but I'm also slightly disappointed that it's only looking like a one year extension. Two years would be so much better....

absolutely fine for me, in 2026 we can target nagelsmann as a replacement

Can't we wait until he actually signs the extension before we start complaining about the implications of its length?

I'm pretty sure if he's staying it'll already be signed.

Seems parts of the forum have seen one suggestion and taken it as gospel he's staying.

Still waiting for some proper confirmation before I get giddy.

The article seems to suggest that Pep takes over Brazil after the 2026 World Cup. Prepares for the 2030 World Cup in Europe including Spain, and their Centenary. I wonder if we know who the target is in 2026 already, but good to have Pep for another year if correct.

365 is a terrible source
