Pep Guardiola sparked off huge speculations about his future after it was announced that he will leave the German club Bayern Munich in the summer. His CV is one of the best in world football and at the age of 44 has most of the managerial career in front of him.
Most of the EPL clubs are in line for his signature and it is widely expected that Manchester City will snatch him up with reports stating that the two parties are already in talks. Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano, two executives who worked with the Spaniard at Barcelona are believed to be capable of swinging his decision in their favor.
This has left a host of top EPL clubs hoping to sign him. Chelsea is a club who just appointed and interim manager and will need to find a replacement this summer and are expected to lure Guardiola to the Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal who has not been able to lift the league in 10 years are also expected to approach the Spaniard, but the biggest rivals for City for Guardiola’s signature are Manchester United. United have been disappointing this season and are on the verge of shooting themselves in the foot.
Van Gaal was given plenty of time and money but with results still unfavorable, it was not a surprise that rumors of his sack have started to make the rounds. The Dutch manager will not have too many chances and will be facing the toughest time in his stint with United.
The Daily Star quoted a source as saying: “Pep always found the club fascinating. He likes clubs with huge tradition and United certainly have this.
“He won’t be short of options when it comes to deciding his next move and Manchester City are an ambitious club. But United could still prove to be the more attractive proposition.”
The next two games for the club are against Stoke City and Chelsea and some bad results can easily see the Manchester Club part ways with their manager. It is rumored now that Guardiola might be interested in the job at Old Trafford provided the prestige and history of the club. It is now believed that the Spaniard has told his friends that he might move to United and this news has been welcomed with huge grins from United fans.
If United is able to convince Guardiola to come to the club, this season might turn into a bigger nightmare as it will have no bearing on their future. Van Gaal should be careful and act fast if he wants to keep his job in England.
