Yeah and those same people take for granted that Chelsea are a superclub, but Mourinho is both the Roberto Mancini and the Pep of the project that made them that way. Sure he had unlimited funds at his disposal, but the crushing of the United/Woolwich axis under his bootheel was a massive accomplishment that turned the tide of the entire sport.
£130,000,000 more than Jose Mourinho has in the same time frame. Bare in mind Mourinho also missed a year out between being sacked at United and taking over at Spurs.
Y'know, you look back at a seminal football period of time with the benefit of hindsight, and there are a couple of guys who won:
Euro 2008, La Liga 08-09, Champions League 08-09, La Liga 09-10, World Cup 2010, La Liga 10-11, Champions League 10-11, Euro 2012, and La Liga 12-13.
And their names are not Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi.
Still underrated, those two.

Is it possible that if he got the shove, and a top (£$£$) side didn't call for him he'd decide enough was enough? I wouldn't blame him. I would question him, but not blame him.
I guess taking on the national gig is the only thing left for him. But having to rely on the talent available rather than being able to buy whomsoever he chooses may not suit him?
Is there a precedent for fêted managers going to the US or China to see out/extend their career? I mean, honestly, what is his career path from here?
I don't think he'd have to worry about that.
If he did get the shove, he'd probably go to PSG (who'd likely sack Tuchel for Guardiola if they don't win the CL) and try and win them that competition.
Inter Miami.
Or even if they did? As far as I can see the game is just exactly that to the middle eastern money men.
I don't think they'd sack Tuchel if they won the Champions League to be honest.
BUT then I'd just say Guardiola would go back to Barcelona to try and sort out that mess.
I think there would be enough options for him if he left.
As mentioned above PSG if they don't win, and maybe even if they do win.
If he took a year off it is possible that United would be available if OGS has another ok season. He could go back to Barca, Juve could be open again depending on how Pirlo does, Chelsea is always an option with Roman as owner.
I doubt Inter is enough of draw for him but with all the Conte issues this year it could easily be an option for him.
Piss off, Roma clownThis is him in 2020 celebrating 6th place.
Your entire knowledge of the game is based on reading Twitter - you’re clueless as Jose and Pep last won the CL 10 years ago
He’ll go to either PSG or Juve next
He’s doing a tour of Europe’s richest clubs

That's it.. Pep has been at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City. Hes bought every decent player going and had pots of gold to spend at each of those clubs.. No one knows how good a manager he is.. I wonder what he would do at a Burnley and build a team on a budget?
I think he might take some time out like he did between Barca and Bayern. Then see how he feels and what's available in 8 - 10 months time.
Poch is currently the 6/4 fave to take the City job next.

I have sympathy for the foul call - I think it's a tricky one since neither player was going for the ball, and there was clearly no intent. If that had been given as a foul, there would have not been many complaints.
However, that wasn't offside. The player who was offside did not play the ball, didn't feign to play it, and didn't stop anyone from playing it. Never offside.
I bet Kyle Walker is delighted at that news.
He can take another run at the CL for the next two years at City then head back to Barca after Koeman did all the hardwork of moving out the crap and losing (well for Barca standards) as the hero returning.
A lot of the issues at Barca should be fixed by then and they shouldn't have enough success that it won't be easy to move Koeman out so Pep can go back, bring them back to success and keep up his reputation as well.
