A source from Radio Sportive said that Juventus have reached a 4-year contract deal with Pep Guardiola. Accordingly, journalist Federico Gennarelli confirmed on his personal page Twitter: "The deal is closed. Pep Guardiola will be Juventus' new coach with a 4-year contract."
According to this journalist, Guardiola will meet Juventus Director - Fabio Paratici in Milan to discuss the details of the contract. The two sides have found a common voice and the official contract will be signed in the next few days.
If the above information is confirmed by relevant parties, many Man City fans will be shocked because Pep Guardiola is in an extremely successful period with the Etihad team. The authenticity of this source is unknown, but in football everything is possible and every possibility has its basis.
Firstly, in his coaching career, Pep Guardiola has only been with a single club, Barcelona, for more than 3 years. In 3 seasons with The Citizens, Pep has conquered 6 titles. Most notably, the two consecutive Premier League titles with very high scores.
Above all, Pep Guardiola has built a powerful Man City empire, dominating the Premier League, with an attractive attacking style of play. However, Guardiola's Man City are still on schedule for the Champions League title - the title that Pep has always craved. This year, they were eliminated by Tottenham in the quarter-finals.
Second, having won the Premier League for the second consecutive season with Man City could make Guardiola feel... bored. For Guardiola, he may be looking for new challenges.
Third, Man City is being investigated by the Union of European Economic Zone (UEFA) for fraud in sponsorship contracts to avoid the Law on Financial Fairness. If they are found to have violated the law, Man City could be banned from participating in the Champions League next season. That will be a huge blow to Pep's future at the Etihad.
Therefore, the Italian press is determined that this is the main reason why he decided to leave the foggy country. Currently, Guardiola, Man City and Juventus have not confirmed this shocking information.
However, Man City fans still have reason to hope, because Pep's recent statements show that he has absolutely no intention of leaving Man City at the present time.
Earlier this month, Guardiola had announced that he would be with Man City for the most of the next two years, and he was determined not to lead Cristiano Ronaldo: "How many times do I have to say this? I will not go to Juventus. I am not interested in Italian football either. "At the moment, I am satisfied with Man City and will not go anywhere. Next season, I will still be the Man City coach. I've said this many times," Pep Guardiola was determined.
Juventus are without a coach after parting ways with coach Allegri. Mourinho and Pochettino are considered strong candidates for the hot seat. For Juventus, the Champions League is also their number one goal after many years of dominating Serie A.
If he moves to lead Juventus, Guardiola will inherit a strong squad. In addition, Juventus' potential allows him to bring in good players to build the squad as desired.
It is too early to say anything, but whether he goes or stays at Man City, Guardiola will win the hearts of fans of this club for what he has done.
