Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is on the brink of quitting after telling the club he needs a break from football. News conference on Friday.

Sign him up voyeur.

Wait wut

Abandoning his team when they need him the most. Classy.

Been offered a blank cheque by rosell, oferring full control over buying/selling etc, no idea what happening, I hope to god he stays, hes made some mistakes recently but im still certain there isnt a better coach for barca out there.

What a bottler.

Bad move on both parts...

He said if he left he'd take a break from football, didn't he?

Barca should be doing everything in their power to convince him to stay.

like I said rosell offered him a blank cheque, full control of everything, on peps terms.

Quitting before the season ends?
Wow. However, I always thought that he was going to have a break from the game after this season ends.

He hasn't quit or said he's quitting before the season ends.

this is my mentality on FM

if im not winning stuff, resign

Been in the job for 4 years, and he's saying he's tired an needs a break.

Not everybody is wired to run a club for 20+ years.

I understand that, but wants a break after 4 seasons after winning everything?

He's got possibly the best job in the world.

It looks like a great job from the outside but think of how pressure-packed being manager of Barca is. It's a thankless job, really. If you win, Messi and Xavi get all the credit. If you don't win, you get all the blame. Luckily for him, he won a lot right away and built up some goodwill. Imagine if this was his first season. They'd be burning him in effigy in Catalonia.

He's been there for 17 years in total too.

Sky Sports sources understand that Pep Guardiola has told Barcelona he will leave the club at the end of the season.

Danny with a great show of naivety. Hope Pep stays on.

Look at Witcher having a go at me and not Kurtz or Viva.

Oh right.. you were there.

The other day the journalists asked him about why he wasnt starting Pique and he said something about his life outside the club with sarcasm, I heard some on the radio saying they get the impression they have fallen out.

Apparently isn't happy about his reletionship with Shakira.

Reminds me Fergie getting pissed off with Becks about Victoria Beckham, if it's true about Piqué and Pep of course.

Just heard Guardiola's wife said his kid doesnt recognise him because hes away so much.

Danny with his typical simplistic view, parasite.

The pressure from the media and fans can get to anyone.

I'd be knackered after a month managing Barcelona the line between success and failure is so thin

boohoo

brb beautiful city with beautiful weather, one of the best collections of talent ever assembled, loads of money, leaving a legacy as the man at the helm of one of the greatest teams ever, your pick of virtually any players you want to sign, the board having faith and wanting to keep you on, the fans having faith and not calling for your head when things go wrong.

brb feeling sorry for Pep.

Is there anyone else who wants a go at being naive?
