Guardiola and the scandal at Manchester City: where could he continue his career if he leaves?

A couple of weeks ago, he recriminated the fans of the Manchester City that they were “quiet for 45 minutes” and lack of attitude towards those they managed. “We are far from being the team we were”, She said Pep Guardiola after the 4-2 win against Tottenham (0-2 at halftime).

Later, in the preview match against Arsenal, They asked him about rival DT, Mikel Artettaand recognized his commitment to the Gunners, after Arteta stops being Guardiola’s assistant at City and leaves to manage in London. “Everyone has dreams and I know he went to his club, to the club he dreamed of. I wouldn’t have opposed it. It’s like I’m training here and Barcelona are calling me. I will go. It’s my club.” Shot. Another bombing.

Cycle complete? More recently, financial irregularities leaked from the Premier League in a declaration and which could lead to serious penalties to the citizens they promote the versions that speak of a possible departure from Catalan.

Pep himself had warned last year that he was committed to City’s board of directors but that if irregularities were demonstrated in the accounting accounts, he would be the first to slam the door and leave the club. “When there are suspicions or people accuse them of something, I go and ask them, ‘What is it about?’ And once they give me an explanation, it’s okay, I believe them. Because I already told them that if they lie to me, I won’t be here the next day“, said the Spaniard at the press conference. If so, where would he continue his successful career?

“The next step will be a selection, if the opportunity arises”, She said guardhouse when asked in August 2021 about a possible end to his long career at the English club (he arrived in the 2016-17 season).

In this context, after the elimination of the Brazilian team in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, the Brazilian Football Confederation has indicated Pep as Tité’s replacement And the offer for the Spaniard had even leaked: a four-year bond, until the 2026 World Cup, in exchange for 12 million euros net.

Second mirror sports, the selection of Holland, already without Louis VanGaal, He also wants the famous multi-champion coach with Barcelona and has already taken steps to sign him. Although the numbers have not been disclosed, the British newspaper reported The Dutch federation has already contacted him to convince him to lead the Orange.

Subsequently, three other elite teams are mentioned in the European media, although they are more utopian alternatives: one has an acting coach (England)another changed DT after the World Cup (Spain) and the remaining waiting for the continuity of your technician (Argentina). It seems unlikely that any of these three possibilities will occur, but These are teams that have Guardiola among the favorites should they find a replacement for Southgate, De La Fuente or Scaloni.

While the renewal of Lionel Scaloni seems obvious, especially after Chiqui tapia I’d say “we are about to give good news”, Guardiola’s move to the Albiceleste has more to do with the coach’s desire to manage Leo again than with a concrete reality.

After all, it seems more realistic that they meet again in Paris than in Argentina. If he psg fails to achieve the goals ahead, mainly the Champions League (they face Bayern Munich in the round of 16), and so on Christopher Galtier you decide to step aside, then the matter of Pep will appear more forcefully. Meanwhile, the Parisian club is fighting for the renewal of the Argentine champion.

Messi converted 211 goals and provided 79 assists in 219 games played under Guardiola as manager and together won 14 titlesincluding two Champions Leagues, in Barcelona. Will they meet again?
