in my opinion, it seems like Pep is starting to get bored with the challenge of coaching a club, because he has given many titles to teams that use his services, especially Pep is a loyal coach, he will continue to give all his abilities until the club is successful, for example Man City which is currently a respected club in the domestic and European leagues.
The adventure of coaching the national team will be a new challenge for his coaching career, the England national team is a good choice.
Coaching National team will be a boring job for Pep Guardiola, he is the type of coach that love having world class players in his team, he don’t like to manage players that’s why he always go to teams that are ready to spend money; he connected have good performances coaching National team because he will be confined under some certain players and will have no choice of bringing others.

However, currently what is being widely rumored is Thomas Tuchel who will replace Southgate in the England national team coaching chair because the English Football Association wants to immediately bring in a new coach after interim coach Lee Carsley gave disappointing results against Greece in the national league.

Thomas Tuchel is a good coach, he was not just lucky at Nauern Munich. Considering the high quality of players England National team have, he can do his best for them to win trophies because Garate Southfate has failed in several trials despite all the players he has.

Real Madrid are indeed very smart in recruiting players, they see Trent has so far rejected all new contract offers from Liverpool and has not responded to the latest offer. Real Madrid immediately made contact with Trent whose contract will expire in 2025, if he has been persuaded by Real, it is not impossible that Trent will be obtained by Real Madrid for free.

However, considering that Carvajal is currently injured, I don't think Real Madrid wants to wait until his contract ends, I heard that Real Madrid is serious about bringing in Trent in the near future by offering another option by exchanging Tchuameni to secure Trent because Liverpool also want a midfielder.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool will consider releasing one of their defenders, even in the hope of getting a quality midfielder like Tchuameni. If this deal happens, then this could be one of the most important transfers for both teams.
While free players thing is a great achievement for Real Madrid, it is not as big of a deal for them as people think and totally about players themselves. Because instead of paying 100 million to a team and 25 million signing bonus to a player, they pay 125 million as a signing bonus to player they got for free. Maybe this may not be fully true, maybe they save some, but they are not giving the same exact bonus, they still end up paying more when a player is free.

So, this is why players wait until their contract runs out, and go there as free agents, in order to get more money from Real Madrid. I am sure Real profits from this a bit, but not fully and they wouldn't mind buying the players neither, but in a situation like that, player wouldn't make too much and this is why players prefer to let their contract run out. Trent is known to want to go to Real, and this is why he is not extending his contract and I am sure he is going to end up making a ton of money.

I don’t think Thomas Tuchel is the best manager for England. Manchester United fans would not even consider him as a replacement for Erik Ten Hag whom they believe is one of the worst manager Manchester United has had since Alex Ferguson. Someone called Tuchel a failed manager at Chelsea and Bayern Munich. I’m surprised that England national team have gone this far in negotiations with Tuchel. The fact that he is German  and is being considered for such an important position shows that they are not xenophobic but again is Tuchel the best option for England?

Or indeed Pep Guardiola wants to find new challenges, as we know the England national team will be Pep Guardiola's priority because he once said he wanted to serve there and now the FA is waiting for him.

Even if he goes to Serie A, which club will he go to? No top club from Serie A has a coaching crisis, right?

So... I was reading a very plausible rumor from journalist David Sánchez: According to him, Pep is going to coach a national team and he even gave indications that this new challenge would be the English national football team.

Well... considering that the next edition of the World Cup is very close, this could really be a good choice and Guardiola also feels very comfortable living in England, where his relationship with the fans and the press is quite clean. It also weighs on the fact that Pep knows the English players very well, even from City's rival teams.

And you, do you also believe in this possibility?

But it's such a waste for Barcelona to keep De Jong even longer. His wages are high, even after he agreed to decrease them with Barcelona in order to extend his contract. If we always missed him in any season due to his injuries, it's a loss to always pay his expensive wages.

I hope Barcelona will sell him instead of keeping him. He was rarely contributing to the club and this is a sense reason to sell him. I hope he will also understand the situation.

The last time I heard that if De Jong has agreed to be sold, as long as there was no improvement  his condition.

Firstly when I think of this deal I actually want to curse the then board of directors at Barcelona, they were the ones that actually put the club in this current financial mess today. De Jong sitting on a weekly $600k is absolutely a joke to me coupled the fact that it was a long term deal is absurd. Yes we all know how super talented he was but he is just been so unlucky due to injuries and that I can’t blame him for. Over the past three seasons I can remember Barcelona have been trying to get him off their wage book with Ten Hag arriving at Manchester United and wanted the player but the player opted against the move.

In as much  as I see him trying to actually prove himself by all means at Barcelona I think some love stories have to just end and everyone go their separate ways to find peace, this lad could actually see his injury going away by switching clubs but he doesn’t wants to leave and the club cannot do anything because he is contracted to them and selling him off will mean he will be paid his balance base on the contract agreed with a new club which is a big problem at the moment for Barcelona because no buyer is actually coming to pay that ridiculous wage load for an injury prone even though talented

Frenkie de Jong is still not fully recovered... And he is making tons of money which is going up to 25 million euros a year with bonuses. He said that people were wrong and he was actually making much less than that but I don't know.  Sad

https://www.capology.com/player/frenkie-de-jong-35562/

Isn't it bad to pay this injury-prone player this much money?  Huh  I mean he is talented okay but he can't play regularly during a season. The team can't get enough efficiency from him comparing to the money he earns. While Barcelona is trying to raise funds, I think they should consider selling him or cutting his salary seriously.

As far as I know, Barcelona has tried to do that and even an agreement has been made between Barcelona and Man United, but unfortunately, De Jong insists he doesn't want to leave Barcelona. I even remember Barcelona threatening to cut his salary if he still refused to accept the offer from Man United, but again the threat did not make De Jong change his decision.

But it's such a waste for Barcelona to keep De Jong even longer. His wages are high, even after he agreed to decrease them with Barcelona in order to extend his contract. If we always missed him in any season due to his injuries, it's a loss to always pay his expensive wages.

Yeah he will end probably in a national team or Arabia.
I don't see him going in Italy right now with the lack of money they have in Serie A in this historical moment.
Even if he said it many years ago that he wanted to go there and win where he played.

As you may know he also played in Serie A, I think with Baggio in Brescia.
Guardiola has indeed stated that he wants to coach the national team one day but compared to the England national team obviously he may be more hopeful to get the pride of coaching the Spanish national team, However, I think it will not happen in the near future considering that his desire to coach a club is still quite large, currently he has managed to bring Barcelona, Munich and Manchester City to the peak of glory,  So far he has coached three big clubs from three different leagues, so for become the most successful coach in Europe of course Guardiola will try the adventure to coach teams from Italy and France, so that way he will be the only coach who manages to achieve success in the 5 biggest European competitions later, so far maybe the Serie A team is not yet a coaching crisis, but when there is an opportunity to recruit a great coach like Guardiola then I think the team will not hesitate to find fault with the coach and fire him to recruit guardiola Grin.

That he played in Serie A doesn't mean he'll end up going there, it's not as if it's not possible but I don't see that happening, he's already achieved the major trophies that's achievable with several club teams so I think he'll be thinking something big, I would've mentioned the Arab league but it's even less challenging compared to the leagues in Europe and if he's to go their it would be the influence of the offer he'll get by clubs over there but I think Pep is a man that loves bigger challenges and he'll aim for major trophies like the Euro's or World Cup so I believe he'll rest for a while after retirement from Manchester City then take up a coaching job with any country team of his choice later, possibly the Spanish National team or England's three lions. Already, there's been rumours in the past that England would try persuade Pep to take up the managerial job for the English National team, let's see how it goes.
I believe all these are just merely speculations as I believe pep guadiola is one who have passion for the game and I think with that note the Saudi Arabia league is definitely out of the questions although the money can always change the narrative but I strongly believe if he is leaving Manchester city Saudi Arabia league is definitely not an option for him.

The man has achieve almost all the glory as a football manager except for national honors which every coach would love to add to his collections so that's why I feel he will definitely choose a national team job although not sure of the national team and I feel this whole him being linked with england is just merely desires of football fans.

I have my doubts that Pogba would have been able to play before he had this problem. Pogba used to be a great player but he didn't play for almost 2 years, so I understand why Juventus feels no longer needs to extend Pogba's contract because they are not convinced enough that Pogba will shine again. If Marseille are indeed interested in Pogba, they seem to be more willing to speculate than Juventus.

Pogba gets his suspension reduced because it was allegedly not his own intentional, but, if it turns out that it was a deliberate act, then it is not impossible that he could do it again.

It has recently become known that Pogba has been in talks with Marseille for several weeks, and the fact that his disqualification will be reduced from 4 years to 18 months became known only a few days ago. Apparently Pogba knew in advance that his disqualification could be reduced and that he would need to look for a new team.

I doubt that after the reduction of the term, they can again reconsider their decision, this will only be possible if he is caught in further doping, but this would be a big stupidity and would definitely put an end to his career, I think he understands this perfectly well. Pogba is a very talented player and he is not so old to think about ending his career, so I assumed that there would be a club that would risk taking him in Europe, and Pogba would be more interested in continuing to play in Europe than going to Saudi Arabia or MLS.

I don't mean to criticize him by making this post. Maybe he's right when he declares himself innocent of all charges. But let's suppose it's true that he used dope. Then this would make him more tolerant to fatigue, he wouldn't get tired quickly, and it would also make him stronger. Therefore, he could be considered a good player. Of course, people wouldn't know that he used dope. Now the guy won't be able to dope, so that means that the strength he demonstrated in the past won't exist, that resistance to fatigue won't exist. Therefore, the guy won't perform well on the field, so when he returns to play, it will be possible to prove whether or not his past abilities were natural.

Pogba hasn't played football for almost 2 years. This means that he lacks matches, but I don't think it means that he lacks training. If he has trained regularly, if he has a good physical condition, I think he will make up for the lack of matches. But I don't think the elite clubs are likely to sign him again. He should now focus on teams outside Europe. I'm sure the Arabs will compete to sign him. He can also have the opportunity to earn a lot of money there.

I think if there is a club in Europe that wants Pogba, it is better not to go to the Saudi League. Marseille might be willing if there is a price agreement. and it would be better for Pogba to play there than to think about the big salary from the Saudi club.
The consideration is age and maybe his performance has declined. if he wants to go to Saudi, then he must make sure to retire there. if he still maintains his fitness during the punishment. it will be faster I think for him to be able to return to his best game. although many also comment that it will be difficult to see him return to his top performance.

The Manchester City team management will definitely try to convince Pep Guardiola not to leave the Manchester City team at the end of the season. Because after all, the team management will always be more satisfied with good results through Pep Guardiola's dedication as long as the team can still run very well and continue to be a champion candidate every season. I think there will be a more tempting offer for Pep Guardiola if this season the team he coaches can become champions again in the EPL and UCL like Manchester City did when they won the treble.

Guardiola doesn't need convincing to stay at City, he wants to. The only question is how the League v City case will end. If the club is sanctioned and City can no longer pour money into everything as before, then for Guardiola such a City will lose its appeal, he is used to coaching clubs that dominate. It is unlikely that he is attracted by fair competition and the possibility that his success depends directly on the capabilities of the club.
Yes you are right Pep Guardiola is still very happy and wants to stay with Man City for the next few seasons. It seems that he does not plan to leave in a hurry, and the Man City board is clearly very happy with what Pep Guardiola said. Even if he leaves whoever replaces him Man City is still a strong club in terms of quality the players are very mature and know what to do on the field. Man City management really wants to keep Pep as long as possible until they find a coach who Pep agrees to be his successor later. Like what Jurgen Klopp before his departure.

Pogba gets his suspension reduced because it was allegedly not his own intentional, but, if it turns out that it was a deliberate act, then it is not impossible that he could do it again.
Juventus is not just considering his performance but his damaged reputation. Marseille's Mayor Benoit Payan protested against Olympique de Marseille's  Mason Greenwood, calling it a disgrace. Even the fans launched and started a not-welcome campaign against the former Manchester United player. Even English national team interim boss Lee Carsley has stated that he is not considering bringing back the young player to the team. But he is doing well in the club, and the president, Pablo Longoria, said they have no regret in bringing him on board.

It is generally believed that accepting such players will attract attacks on the club from different individuals and organizations. So clubs always want to avoid such distractions. Nobody can predict how the French player will perform because, before the suspension, he has been struggling with injuries. But it seems Marseille is willing to take the risk.
The case against Greenwood collapsed in 2023 and Greenwood was found not guilty, and so Marseille have no reason not to sign the promising player to a contract, especially since they bought him for just €23 million, which is very little for this player.
Marseille are generally successful in their transfer campaign, buying and signing players who have some problems, like Marseille did with Rabier.
Rabier rejected Milan's contract for €7m, but ended up signing with Marseille for €3.5m, which allowed Marseille to save well.
I think it will be the same with Pogba, if he will sign for a couple of million to resume his career, I think Marseille may try to take a risk, because while the age still allows Drogba to show his level of soccer.

This reminds us of when Pep Guardiola became Bayern coach after leaving Barcelona with a lot of success. If there is an offer with a large number, I think there is a big chance that he will consider leaving Ettihad.
In my opinion, Pep left the Allianz Arena because of the big offer offered by Manchester City. Now, Manchester City with the glory that Pep has helped will definitely consider making Pep a future project.
It should be because the project they offered Pep might be satisfactory which resulted in Pep wanting to go there, and I think at that time he also needed a big challenge because we know at that time Bayer Munich was a strong club in the Bundesliga so Pep wanted to consider a tough job in the EPL, but I think Pep will also be hungry for what he has never had, especially City with their case I think Pep will pack up from there sooner or later to consider the country he will coach. Talking about whether he will be a country manager I think it will happen because there are enough people who want his services I think Pep should be present to consider England because we know England has a good squad but their achievements are difficult I think Pep's arrival will help that so what they have to do is England believe Pep wants to guide his country to bring them to be champions, because if a possible offer is given by England I think Pep will leave Man City immediately.

The Juventus board members are set to agree with Paul Pogba when it comes to the termination of his contract. It's quite clear, in no time, they'll definitely come to conclusion. I can say that he'll terminate his contract with Juventus, but not the same when saying he had negotiations with Marseille. That rumour and speculation is far from being valid. He is currently getting ready to begin training next year.
I will prefer Pogba to join big team instead of any team in the League one, he is still a wold class player that have a lot to share with his fans in football, and he still have some memories to keep for his fans, that is why i will prefer him to either remain in Juventus, or shold sign for any big team like Real Madrid or so because Madrid will need player like him to show some maturity in their midfield because Modric is old, and cannot perform to the core again as he use to do before now.

Anybody recalls Joel Matip? I can not forget how he made Liverpool defense great alongside Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez as they went ahead to win the Premier League Competition and Champions League, likewise making Anfied a fortress for long. Unfortunately all good things end too. A great retirement is what I wish him.
He is among the Liverpool team that gave Pep Guardiola tough time in the premier league along side Virgil Van Dijk, he have some great memories even though defenders are not always noticed like other positions. Well, I am happy for him, and I wish all the best in the future.

Being out from football for that interval of time is worth questioning his fitness so Juventus may be right for not extending his contract but i know Paul Pogba to be a good midfielder so even if he doesn't perform so well in his start in matches but with time, the France international footballer will get back to form again and make quality contributions to his team. If Marseille signs him they should be patient enough to allow him get back to fitness again.

For now we cannot speculate further about Paul Pogba before he proves himself whether after the sanctions he received will make him learn a lot and improve himself or still with the same habits. We won't know for sure until he actually gets a new club that wants to get his services. Regardless later Juventus released Pogba but until now we are still waiting for whether there are still European clubs who are interested or in the end the Saudi Arabian Club will take over.
