The end of an era at Manchester City
Pep Guardiola starts this August what could be his last season with Manchester City. The Catalan coach has received a surprising offer that puts him one step away from leaving the club, despite having brought it to glory. Guardiola still has a year left on his contract, but recently admitted that his continuity in the team was not assured. This new turn points to a possible farewell to the city that has helped him establish himself as one of the greatest technicians of all time.
A new challenge with the English team
With the Euros over and Gareth Southgate out of the national team, the managers of the Three Lions have thought of Guardiola as the new coach. After two lost finals and without showing the game expected from a squad full of stars, the English team wants to make a drastic change. Pep Guardiola is seen as the ideal figure to lead this renewal, thanks to his knowledge of the players and his innovative style of play.
The only priority is Guardiola
The English national team is so interested in Guardiola that they would be willing to wait until his contract with Manchester City ends. This situation would represent a significant change for Guardiola, who has been coaching clubs for 17 years since making his debut with Barça Atlético in the 2007-2008 season. The offer is already on the table, and now the only thing missing is the technician’s response.
A path full of successes
After only 4 seasons in charge of FC Barcelona and three years at Bayern Munich, Guardiola has followed a strategy of not extending his stays at clubs to avoid burnout, both for himself and for the players. However, this philosophy has changed in Manchester, where it has already completed 8 years with resounding success. The titles and recognitions have not stopped raining.
Success at Manchester City
Before the arrival of Guardiola in the 2016-2017 season, Manchester City only had one Premier League in its showcase. During the 8 years on the City bench, the Catalan coach has made history with 6 league titles. The seasons in which it did not win, the team finished second or third, always competing at the highest level.
The common denominator of their achievements
Pep Guardiola has won 13 of the 16 leagues he has contested as a coach, a milestone that explains the interest of the English national team. Under his leadership, Manchester City won the first Champions League in its history and added two more with FC Barcelona. His ability to innovate the game and inspire excitement in the fans is what the England team urgently needs.
