Sometimes when everything has been achieved with Manchester City he can just leave it it is the right decision for him, he could be taking on a new challenge to handle the England national team because this national team squad has many Manchester City players at least he knows the character of the players who have been nurtured for a long time at his club it might happen what Pep Guardiola did.

To be asked for a decision now, of course Pep Guardiola will say no details considering he is more focused on the league than discussing this issue which is still a long time away, it is better to wait until the contract expires then he will decide for himself.

Pep Guardiola's future is always an interesting question, in fact he recently spoke something about his future at the club. Pep Guardiola has almost reached a decade as Manchester City coach and he has won 6 Premier League titles in 8 seasons and 1 Champions League. Pep Guardiola is expected to retire at Manchester City, but this may never happen if Pep Guardiola has the desire to coach the national team or any team after his contract ends. Pep Guardiola said something during the press conference, if you are interested you can find it here:

“I did not rule it out to extend the contract. I would love to stay because I would love to stay,” he said.

Watch the video: Pep Guardiola has opened up on his future as Manchester City manager.

Chelsea vs Celtic
Club Friendlies

Chelsea has set it squad to face Celtic today and the match will be interesting and I am expecting Chelsea to win this match because this should be a work over foe them.

Chelsea has a good squad in the game though Celtic squad is also gallant. Let see how this Friendlies Match will go.

Both Pep and Kloop has done very well in the Premier League, their competition for the title was one of the reasons why the Premier League is still the toughest League in the world, but before Kloop left, Arteta joined the race to another top competator for Pep Guardiola which has kept their mandate of the Premier League till date.

I don't think Guardiola will be interested with any national team job, because he said that he cannot be able to sign players he want which means he will be only limited to the players in that country.

Pep Guardiola has a point by saying that, he will definitely be limited to signing players and have to work with the players from the country regardless of how their performance is. This could cause serious challenge to him and could also add a negative record to his career. He is a very good coach and wouldn’t want what he has fought for all his life to just be attached to something not nice to hear. I have strong believe in him that when he joins and club and they’re able to provide him with the right finances needed to deliver a job, he’ll definitely try his best to make the team great.

Pep Guardiola is just waiting for the outcome of the charges laid against Manchester City, if they didn't succeed I am very sure he will leave the team which can be a good reason why he is yet to renew his current contract. Nevertheless, I will want him to stay to keep given the EPL the competition it needs because if he leaves now, it can be less competitive unless if other managers do well to keep the competition.

You could be right and that could be the reason why he hasn’t been straightforward about his next decision on his managerial role in Manchester City. Managing a team facing those series of challenges could be difficult for him, so he’ll rather leave the club and join another one. Even through he leaves, I don’t think the tough competition in the premier league will be reduced, it’ll still be as competitive as always.

Yes, maybe medical test done already. It is very easy to understand why Arsenal is able to bring in so many players. Actually so many good & decent players. That because the Gunners is performing well right now and the improvement is very visible. Arteta is literally completing against Manchester City for the English Premier League title. And that's why a lot of young players are very interested in going to Emirates Stadium. They also understand that going to Arsenal is also going to give them a better chance to  get a good playing time instead of them going to some other team like Manchester City. Because Arsenal need to have depth in the squad. I think Riccardo Calafiori is going to be a good edition for Arsenal squad, he is a decent Defender with good physical structure. Calafiori is also only 22 years old. So there is a very big chance that he is going to spend his prime time with Arsenal. I will say good decision by Arteta.

Personal agreement already met between Arsenal and Bologna, but the Bologna team said they are still on paper work, the plain was delayed for almost two times, but I think the paper work will now be complete if the news you bring here is legit concerning god flight to London for medical.

Arteta wants to make Arsenal defense very solid to the extent that the number of goals they will concede per season will not be a double figure; we have seen how last season ended as Arsenal is the team that conceded less goals in all the Premier League last season.
I want Arteta to remember our lack of reliable striker; we need a striker that can score more than twenty goals per season, and an injury free striker that can win us title because we fans have seen the impact of a great striker as we lost last two league titles due to lack good and reliable striker.

I thought this deal had already been completed. The Bologna player (Calafiori) has been undergoing medical and by now I expected he would have given his complete speech and jersey number. However, it is obvious that Arsenal has signed a new player. Which means there is better hope for them. The fans would believe that every signing since the last two seasons for Arsenal turned out well.

This is one of Arteta's strategies. Conceding fewer goals in every game. What he expects is to win the match, even if it's one goal difference. He is more concerned about the 3 points and not goal difference to win the EPL title.

Pep Guardiola has to be one of the most intelligent managers of the modern day football if you ask me and that's because of how he manages to handle questions thrown at him by the media. When I read his recent interview where he suggested that he might extend his contract at Manchester City contrary to what many people in the media thinks of him, my respect for the Spanish manager increased the more. His statement in may that he was closer to leaving was misconstrued by the press which is why he had to explain it in his recent interview.
Though he had in the past said he'll remain with Manchester City regardless of the outcome of financial charges against the club I think weren't serious statements because I don't see a Pep Guardiola managing a club that's not participating in the top flight

Maybe I missed the information, regarding Pep Guardiola's demands to his club. but if we talk about Pep's recent statement, from my point of view, Pep can leave as he said. but he did not rule out signing a new contract with City, maybe he can extend one or two seasons ahead. the point is, Pep will not continue to handle City. as reported by Romano, Pep said that after eight years with City, he will not stay for the next eight years. besides, there is nothing wrong with his statement. if Pep stays with City for a long time, it is his decision even though he previously said closer to leaving.

Well, we agree that Pep Guardiola is a manager who has a myriad of tactics and strategies. that is why, he has brought City to become one of the strongest teams in the Premier League and also the Champions League. despite the fact that City is a rich club, Pep Guardiola's performance cannot be ignored because he always does his best. he is a manager who is not satisfied if his team wins but performs badly, that is why the players are always required to perform optimally. Pep is a coach I admire, even though I am not a supporter of The Citizen.

It seems that Unai Emery is busy preparing Aston Villa for the upcoming Uefa Champions League and English Premier League as he has been very active in the transfer market. Even though a lot of new players will be joining Aston Villa but a few key players have also left the team through the transfer market and I wonder if Aston Villa are still able to keep up their excellent form last season. I guess the real big test for Aston Villa will be coming soon once they start their Uefa Champions League journey by playing against other top European football clubs and I hope they could at least progress to the round of 16.

The answer is yes, because Aston Villa have found an equal replacement and Unai Emery's observation is no doubt for the readiness of his squad for next season. Both the EPL and the champions league will remain high standards for him and Unai Emery does not want to lower his standards and wants more than what he achieved last season.

The problem of challenges will certainly always surround him and I think with everything he got in the summer it should not be a hindrance and instead make it easier for him to play every match in different competitions. I don't want to expect too much for the champions league and as long as they are not in the group of death with other strong teams then their path will be easy to the next round.

Aston Villa has signed 8 players so far. I think they’re the only club to have spend more on signings in the EPL in the current transfer window. Emery is building a team that can compete in all fronts. He’s been given all enough funds to spend considering their qualification to the UCL. The recruitments they have made so far are good. Good ages and the right experiences. That’s exactly what is needed considering the fact that they’ll be participating in a lot of competitions next season.

Emery has been there before, he knows European football so I think he’ll manage the team well and retain their spot in the league table to make the UCL qualification another season. With the way they’re strengthening their squad, I tip them to make the top 4 next season.

Maintaining Balance would obviously be key during these times, the good thing about Unai Emery is that, he has enough experience of what it means to be in the Champions League and at the same time in the Premier League Competition. He one time managed Arsenal in the Premier League Competition and also he would do same thing for Aston Villa.

I don't know what it'll be like for them at the end of next season but it all depends on the sqaud depth available. hopefully, they're not affected with a lot of players Injured due to too many games.
The Champions League Competition would be great to have them, if my brain serves me right, then I believe they're also one time Champions League winners.

Manchester City knows without Guardiola is not strong anymore. Manchester City lost many players but still had good performances in the last season and this team thanks to Guardiola could win the Premier League while other teams like Arsenal had good performances so far in the games we saw from them,
However, recently Guardiola showed the green light and said he is going to stay in Manchester City for a longer time.

Pep is like the bed rock that Manchester city is resting on pep and from the tweet pep made did not make anything clear, and from that tweet again I don’t think, pep will leave Manchester city for now and even if is contract expires next year am very sure it is going to be renewed because their is an understanding already between pep and the players and if pep should leave then the players, we have to start learning new things and it will affect them because of their new coach, will come with is new way of coaching. And gradually Manchester city is becoming the king of premier league and just the way Real Madrid are dominating champions league, the same thing Manchester is also doing dominating the premier league.

Pep still hasn't budged on the discussion of his future because as long as his contract is still at Manchester City, it is certain that he will remain focused at least until next season end .   Although on several occasions we can see Manchester City has given a nod to a contract extension but Pep still doesn't want to discuss this too far it seems .

For the England national team there is indeed a good hope if in the end Pep accepts this as a job but indeed seeing the current conditions I actually doubt if Pep will accept a proposal from the England National Team. There are several reasons I can see for this and the main issue is nationality. I'm not sure Pep wants to accept a proposal from a national team that is not his own country even though Pep certainly knows England more because he has been in the EPL for more than half a decade but still defending a club in the EPL and defending the national team is clearly a different thing and im not sure he accepts because after all when he is in the national team he must be prepared for all conditions including against his own country later .

Pep is a tactical man, not only in football but also in behaviour and speech. You cannot hold him accountable from his speech. His speech only means that what he has stayed in Manchester city so far will be longer than what he will have to stay again. This means he is free to stay for 3 more seasons and it also means he can leave next month. He is not a gentleman like Klopp who gave Liverpool hint on time and enable them to find a good replacement.

Gardiola doesn't seem to be leaving Manchester City any moment soon so long as they keep dominating the English Premier League, he's one manager that loves dominance in any league he finds himself and immediately a huge rival is taking over his dominance he immediately takes the exit door, he did that in Laliga. However, if he's to leave then it's proper he inform his employers ahead of time to find a much capable manager not necessarily like him but someone who have the ability and talent to manage the team, and this can be done when he Gardiola informs the club ahead of time if he should have intention of leaving. I feel that's the right way to leave honorably as a legendary coach.

Keeping the competition isn't the sole responsibility of PEP, I fact others are even the reason it appears like there's a competition in the league, not just PEP. If other coaches aren't putting the effort then it will be a case of one team dominating and the competition wouldn't be found there again but in this case, both Pep and other coaches are trying to equate their strength and others don't want to stop at equating but getting ahead a d that has even led to the sustained competition in the league so far. If there's one thing I know about Pep is his logical technicality he literally adds to everything he does a d this includes both his speaches, actions and even coaching techniques, so there are times his statements aren't conveying a literal meaning so taking it as such may be you getting it wrong totally and I think this is One of those his technically logics which shouldn't be considered in the literal sense.

Pep has won literally everything at City,but leaning City now has not come to his mind.He wants to still win more champions league trophies for City so he could be the best coach of all time.It will be sad if he leaves Premier league at the end of next season because he is one of the major reasons other premier league teams have been trying so hard to maintain consistency because they want to reach thesame level city have reached.
If he is able to retain some certain players,then he would stay.

The Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola do not have any plan of living the Manchester City team right because he has been a successful coach in the the team and he has won so many trophies in the English Premier League so many times and he has also do a very good work in the team because they weren't very strong before the arrival of Pep into the team .



Right now I think Manchester City can not come up with a statement for the coach to find a better place when he is doing so well there. If City decides to part ways with then I think they will regret it because he's going to a better offer since there will be clubs that will want to  make him their new manager because of his level of luck and good

Chelsea vs Celtic
Club Friendlies

Chelsea has set it squad to face Celtic today and the match will be interesting and I am expecting Chelsea to win this match because this should be a work over foe them.

Chelsea has a good squad in the game though Celtic squad is also gallant. Let see how this Friendlies Match will go.

It looks like the season will be of headaches for Chelsea fans:



Even though it was a friendly match, losing in such a humiliating way is not a good thing, especially because they lost against an opponent who beat Manchester City, but in the match against Manchester City they scored 4 goals and conceded 3 goals, while Chelsea only managed to score 1 and conceded 4 goals. In the last friendly match that Chelsea played, they were unable to win, even playing against a weak opponent. These friendlies are a good opportunity for coaches to experiment a lot, to come up with good strategies, which is why getting good results in these matches is a good thing. But some coaches don't give importance to friendlies

And when the serious matches start, you notice that the players are out of rhythm and out of coordination, it takes them many rounds to start playing well. But if they had played in friendlies they wouldn't have these problems. In my opinion, despite Chelsea having made a lot of signings, I don't see them finishing in the top 4 this season that is about to start. I see them fighting to stay away from the relegation zone.

Chelsea has set it squad to face Celtic today and the match will be interesting and I am expecting Chelsea to win this match because this should be a work over foe them.

Chelsea has a good squad in the game though Celtic squad is also gallant. Let see how this Friendlies Match will go.

The Chelsea preseason friendly game against Celtic tonight ended in a 4:1 for the Scottish side. Personally I think Chelsea were very poor in the game and lacked coordination which was why the Celtic players didn't struggle to penetrate through their defense. Of a truth, it's a preseason friendly game, but I still expected a better performance from Chelsea than what I saw considering the fact that they played against a club they're are better than. Enzo Maresca is still trying to blend the team to play his own style of football and I believe he'll do better in coming games

[Zaguru12]

Although these rumours are still going around, there could be offers of this kind, but I'm not sure he would want to leave Manchester City to coach the national team, I think he's someone who needs games all the time, not just once every few months

It was definitely a rumor, immediately I saw the reports of him being linked with the job i wasn’t too surprised because he is the best in the business at the moment and every available coach for his role will have to include his name, but knew right away that’s Guardiola isn’t going to just sign for England even though he leaves Manchester city because they don’t seem to be playing his football. Guardiol can only manage national teams like Brazil and Spain and not England. Also at the moment I think Pep doesn’t seems to have find anywhere he can go from Manchester city at the moment, because he is very much welcomed in the club, he is europe highest paid manager so why change if not just have challenge.

This squad is definitely a very young squad and also has many squad, even though it is not good to judge the team performances on pre season matches I think Maresca will struggle first before getting a balance from the team, better he does that In the pre season matches now before the season starts

I also think Chelsea played poorly against Celtic and did not meet my expectations too. They struggled to work together and had weaknesses in defense making it easy for Celtic to win. Although preseason games are for trying new things and building teamwork Chelsea performance was still disappointing. But it is good to see their coach Enzo Maresca trying to create new style of play. I think they will get better in future games. With more time and practice Chelsea can find their rhythm and become a strong team again.

[Out of mind]

Manchester United face Arsenal today in a friendly match, although in this match Arsenal are much stronger and they have a great attack. Manchester United went through relatively poor performances last season and have yet to improve their game much. The game is almost at the end, but the goal difference is 2-1 Manchester United still behind if they want to level the game they must attack strongly, score goals. Although Manchester United had a good attack in the beginning, but later they could not attack their game much. Anyway, in today's friendly match, Manchester United will lose and Arsenal will win. Man United had very little possession against Arsenal, but this match was much more interesting as both teams attacked from the start and unfortunately Manchester United lost.

Chelsea less than optimal result against Celtic in a friendly match has raised doubts about Enzo Maresca ability to manage Chelsea. The players were not well coordinated, the defense was very easy for Celtic players to penetrate. I don't think Celtic is weaker than Chelsea because they are currently managed by Brendan Rodgers who is a former Liverpool manager. Chelsea previously also achieved less than satisfactory results from a team from the Welsh League (Wrexham).

Improved performance was highly anticipated after the change of coach, but Chelsea performance is still far from what was expected. Enzo Maresca must work harder in concocting Chelsea to find the right formation, the increasingly tough competition in the EPL means he must be able to make Chelsea perform better when still handled by Pochettino.
