KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Pep Gaurdiola to leave Barca

Breaking news on Sky is that Pep has confirmed he will be leaving at the end of the season, I think he should go to us or Spurs, but he will probably end up at Chelsea or City

I hope we're not after him - he wants a year out which means......another 12 months of ken!!!!!

I think Di Matteo will get the job. The one thing that Abramovich wants more than anything else is the CL and RDM has it within touching distance. Mind you, didn't he sack avram grant after losing the CL final?

roman likes big names, he's an ego maniac and that might be di matteo's down fall, but if he does get the job he will probably be on weekly contracts. i mentioned in another thread that i think chelsea are on borrowed time and we are getting the last hoorah from an aging 4 or 5 players. when they go it means they have a serious rebuild on their hands, is di matteo up for that task? the players are managing the team as it is and that will eventually be a recipe for disaster.

Chelsea are going trhough a honeymoon period after the sacking of AVB. Nothing against mateo but a lot of the good performances may well be down to the feel good factor. Lfc had it too, when KD took over lfc went on a run for a few months. I think the barca manager is a carbon copy of avb i wouldnt want him anyhere near the premierhip, he got mugged twice by chelsea says it all his tactics wouldnt work in the premiership

abramovich wants chelsea to be the best team in the world thats why he has spent the money he has on the team and thats why he sacks managers as soon as they dont win the big trophies. does anyone truly believe RDM will/can make chelsea into the best team in the world? i dont think so. he has done a very good job and i think he will get a good size club in the summer after he is sacked by chelsea. maybe villa? possibly even spurs or everton after the managerial merry-go-round this summer. he wont be the next chelsea manager but he has done his reputation the world of good.

Pep has stated on more than one occassion that he wants a challenge, perhaps he sees taking LFC back to it's glory days as a challenge. I don't see why he wouldn't come. He wants to prove himself as a manager, LFC seems like the perfect oppurtunity.

That's a very valid point. On the other hand though, Di Matteo has had recent success in management - I can't remember his record or the circumstances but I was very surprised when West Brom sacked him. I thought he was doing very well (he also did well at MK dons) and 'seems' to have carried that on at the next level.

I think his tactics would work in the prem but not with our players.

i think he'll take at least one year off. he said himself that he informed his club back in october that he was thinking about leaving and that he needs to recharge his batteries.
