This is the quintessential Pep sweet talk before he destroys the opposing team 5-0. Many people have fallen prey to it.
I remember two summers ago everyone said this about Ten Hag.
De Zerbi is hot property.
Most people hyped ten Hag in links with Bayern, considering his history working for them before and it being his favourite club. Still think he should have waited for his chance to join them instead.
Why? United is the biggest challenge in the world right now.
Imagine being the manager who takes this huge club back to glory? Its a tempting propersition for any manager.
I’ve been saying it for a year. 100% De Zerbi steps in when Pep decides he doesn’t fancy winning everything all the time
thing is, de zerbi will very likely already have a new club by then, unless he wants to wait for city
Unless he’s just joined that club by then I don’t see why it would be an issue.
i just dont see de zerbi as the pep replacement people think he is, any other club recruits a new manager and there’s talk about how there’s no trophies in his cabinet etc, de zerbi has done a good job at Brighton and a good job before that but how can you replace pep with someone who hasn’t really won any major honours(or replace him at all for that matter)?
I think way more interesting is what Pep will do after he eventually leaves City, if he even continues at all.
I don’t think he will stay in the Prem nor will he go back to the Bundesliga so the only realistic options would be 1. back to Barca, 2. Serie A or PSG or 3. national team coach.
My favourite option would be for him to go to Serie A, all four top teams (Juve, Milan, Inter, Napoli) would be very interesting but unfortunately I see him most likely taking a bigger break or taking a national team job (most likely Spain but maybe even something like Argentina or England).
