Pep Guardiola says he wants to coach in England
Although he is not officially manager, Ancelotti already has his sights on his first new signing for the club.
Daily Telegraph: Cristiano Ronaldo is still expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, despite the appointment of Zinedine Zidane to replace Rafa Benitez as manager.
Aston Villa boss Remi Garde could return to former club Lyon to sign 27-year-old striker Claudio Beauvue, who is on the transfer list. “There are offers but I haven’t signed for anyone yet”. He found a new position for me.
“It’s looking like he is going to be coming to the Premier League which is great for us”.
Manchester United and Chelsea have been mentioned as potential destinations, but City have always been regarded as the favourites to land the 44-year-old, with United “reluctant to get into a bidding war”, according to The Sun. They’ve harbored a long-held admiration for the architect of Tiki-Taka at Barça and have enough money in the bank to offer Guardiola whatever he wants in terms of compensation.
The former Barcelona boss has a close relationship with City chief executive Ferran Soriano and sport director Txiki Begiristain and is said to have been sold on the project to make the club the biggest in the world.
Manchester United will not pursue Guardiola, partly because they are still backing Louis van Gaal, despite a run of only one win in their last nine games, but also because they are convinced he is destined for their neighbours. Guardiola is now the most accomplished of all Barcelona managers. Chelsea, of course, are on the lookout for a permanent managerial appointment since cutting José Mourinho loose last month.
“I will give my absolute best until the end”.
“I don’t think it is even a question if he will be a success in England or not”. It was a dream, it is a dream.
“I certainly had a positive conversation with Jurgen Klopp and he made me feel very welcome when I train with the team”. “They have to stay here”.
