Pep Guardiola

Not a chance of it.

Definitely not football of the same style but I think he'd have similar success.

does ferguson know how to make them play like that...is a lot more complicated then u think

im sure guardiola does not know how to play efficient counter constructive football of man u either. it would take long time to learn those style infact i doubt either would bother. some manager are just to proud to copy other managers when they inherit team that they try to influence and implement their own styles but end up failing

look at fat benitez idiota. his massive ego and arrogant mind, he changed a winning squad to try and 'stamp' his own name on team and it crumbled. if he had stuck to same systematics of mourinho previously. he would of surely won serie a this season and would be still coaching internazionale. is those fine margine that is a seperating great coach to mediocre coach

I disagree mauro - I think Rafa was right to impose his own style - he had an aging squad who in the previous season had won everything - a lot of people were questioning their hunger for next season especially after not having freshened the squad during the summer.

He also had the likes of Eto'o etc complaining he wanted to play striker etc.....Mourinho got out at exactly the right time.

The best way to continue given the circumstances was to play a more attractive brand of footy (In a hope that this would also motivate the players) - it didn't work out.

Benitez did not have the swagger to continue in the same style as Jose and have every player work their asses off for him.

Look at what Leonardo did - he continued with what Benitez was trying to do - he went ultra attacking.

beast me mauro

He could say, just do what you do every week.

So what you're saying is Ferguson and Guardiola are great and proud because they don't try to copy other managers.

But Benitez is an idiot because he didn't try to copy Mourinho?

While he did have a lot set out for him when he first came in, he deserves an enormous amount of praise for what he had done.

Even if he had Messi, Xavi and Iniesta when he came in, the team was not performing well. In 07-08, the year before he became manager, they finished 3rd in the league, well behind Real Madrid and even Villarreal.

In the 3 years since then, they have dominated European football and are unquestionably the best team in the world.

The way he has done that and done it playing a superb brand of football has to make him one of the best managers around.

Hopefully comes to Chelsea next year.. when Hiddink moves up to DoF after a year of management

Jay I think you confused yourself, read it again

Still an amazing manager. Would hurt to see him leave Barca this summer.

Two managers with two different philosophies. I have no doubt Fergie would have them playing exceptionally well, but I doubt they would be playing in the same "tiki taka" style under him.

he wouldnt survive anywhere else.

end of my posts in this thread.

Guardiola has informed some players he will continue another season. It could be his last. Official announcement expected next week.

Will miss him.

Why is he leaving?

Need's a new challenge, might as well leave while you are at the top of your game rather than leave during a decline.

Loses one trophy and leaves Surely not? I used to have respect for this man.

Bored.

Well that's a gay thing to do.

Doesn't want to embarrasse himself. Has the best team in the world by a mile and he can't even win a 2 team league.

OP is a phaggot.

He's been there for 16 years in total. 11 as a player, 1 year as Barca B coach and 4 years as Barca manager

He has always said that he doesn't see himself managing Barca for long. That's why he only signs 1 year contracts.

I've just read that he's expected to sign a new contract.

"He scores when he wants."

Apparently not

I could manage Barca tbh..

He obviously didn't want to score.

He's going to Chivas to be honest. Even if he says he won't. He will.
