Not today, this week or this month or at some point that no one knows, Pep will give an answer about his future at Manchester City. The Spaniard needs to make his decision soon as his contract with the club expires at the end of this season. Pep needs to decide quickly so that Man City can worry about the next options.
Of course, The Citizens are happy until June next year with the best coach in the club's history. Having the right to decide his future, no one can replace Pep, so he is completely independent. It's just that if these thoughts continue for too long, Man City's wait will gradually become fragile like a soap bubble.
Pep constantly talks about the contract not affecting his psychology and working attitude. But that is just a personal matter, Pep must understand that many players are thinking about whose students they will be next season? The cold winter is coming but the coaching position at the Etihad is gradually heating up. Pep has been sitting there for 5 years to practice adaptation. If he left, anyone who sat there could be burned in the act.
In fact, Man City has set too many goals for Pep and forced him and the players to complete them. It is understandable that Arabian owners have invested too much. 5 years of working at the Etihad, although there were ups and downs, Pep has never disappointed anyone with his professionalism and coaching talent.
In the Premier League era, Man City has never had such a solid stature and a shaped playing style as it is now. Even though he has only 8 points after 5 matches since the beginning of the season (the worst achievement since 2014), Pep is still completely supported.
But the club cannot calculate the short term and needs to go the long way. Although the 2020-21 season has only started for more than a month, from now on, the Man City owners are ready to make way for another coach if Pep leaves.
It could be Mauricio Pochettino or Julian Nagelsmann. They all have in common that they prefer eye-catching attacking play like Pep. Moreover, the age of these two coaches is very young, suitable for going the long way with Man City.
Pep has not won the Champions League since 2011. 9 years with Bayern Munich and Man City - the most heavily invested teams in the world. A title conqueror like Pep Guardiola cannot be satisfied with this result even though his balls are still regularly won domestic championships. The game and the desire have gradually died out.
If he wanted to leave or stay, perhaps Pep should study Messi. Whether it is a matter of opinion or opinion, it should be said so that the rest of the people know how to calculate.
