Pep Guardiola is leaving Manchester City after 10 years and 19 trophies. Where does he go next, if anywhere?

[DeepInlet]

After six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, five Carabao Cups and the 2023 Champions League, Guardiola is stepping down on Sunday following the final game against Aston Villa. He is 55, has a year left on his contract but is walking away early. He has previously managed Barcelona B, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and City. He has been connected to the Brazil national team, a sabbatical, and a return to Spain.

Where do you think he ends up?

[ReacherBadger]

He takes a year out. He has done that before after Barcelona and Bayern. The man is 55 and has been operating at maximum intensity for nearly two decades

[NeonPhantom]

Brazil is the romantic answer. The national team, the World Cup in his hands, the chance to do what no European manager has done with South American talent at that scale

[Skibidi98]

Can't argue with that. Good thread this

[Shannon91]

He would not go to Brazil. The political complexity of Brazilian football governance is not something he would tolerate. He needs control and he would not have it

[CosmicRay67]

PSG once the Champions League final dust settles. The budget, the ambition, the city. He speaks French. He has always been linked. This is the move that makes football sense

[Northernah]

A return to Barcelona is the sentimental answer. He left on uncertain terms but enough time has passed and the club has been rebuilding. The homecoming narrative is irresistible

[Tel86]

He retires. His net worth is extraordinary, his legacy is secure, and the burnout from the last two difficult seasons at City was visible. Some people know when they are done

[TheLegendJohn32]

The Spain national team has Xabi Alonso attached but if that changes Guardiola becomes the obvious candidate. International management is the one thing he has not done

[IronQuarry]

Whatever he does he needs eighteen months away first. Watching him do a January appointment would be genuinely alarming

[MJF]

He has never managed in Italy. Inter Milan or Juventus with the right project would be intriguing. Different league, different culture, something new to figure out

[HeartbreakKidCurtis18]

The honest answer is he probably does not know yet. He walked away from a year of his contract. That is not a man with a plan, that is a man who needed to stop

[Fan22]

Wherever he goes there will be unreasonable expectations. He is too good at this for any next appointment to feel like anything other than a test of whether he can do it again

[Cheugy89]

It won't be Spain as he is basque and has independence connotations . I think Italy
