Don't believe he will join MUFC ahead of MCFC and the Manchester Evening News feels the same. Would be completely stabbing Soriano and Begiristain in the back to join scum after the massive faith they showed in him at Barcelona. Same if he chose Chelsea (who he's apparently already rejected according to some sources) and even Arsenal couldn't be entirely ruled out.
There has also been the suggestion (by The Sun) that Guardiola has also been offered the NYCFC position "when the time is right." He certainly knows New York well as he owns an apartment in Manhattan.
Yeah, ESPNFC is also reporting the speculation that CFG is offering a future management position at NYCFC to Guardiola to "sweeten" the potential deal. I'm not sure why that would be attractive to Pep at this point, except as maybe a pre-retirement job option because he reportedly loves NYC.
This is, of course, amid further speculation that CFG would try to bring Messi to Man City, which seems unlikely.

Not even a Pep fan but he'd automatically be the best coach in the damn league.dude lived in the UWS in one of those super nice rich buildings on central park west, but i dont think he will come here to manage unless in maybe 10 years or something
Not sure why this is a pre-retirement job. He loves NY. He's already won everything there is to win in Europe. Coaching a few years in a city he loves would be a nice mid-career move. It's like if the CEO of a Fortune 100 bank goes to a Fortune 500 hotel. Smaller company. But new challenges. Lots of fun. In a few years s/he can try to go back to a Fortune 100 company or find that the new company has grown in stature to compete with his/her old bank. Not saying NYCFC is going to get as good as MCFC anytime soon. Just saying, I don't see this as necessarily a retirement move.Yeah, ESPNFC is also reporting the speculation that CFG is offering a future management position at NYCFC to Guardiola to "sweeten" the potential deal.

I don't know if reporting is the same thing as linking to the sun.

We've actually already seen this with players coming here from Europe and then getting bought back again by a Euro club. It's time to let go of the MLS=retirement view.
He's been there and done that. Now he is going to yet another league to win a title. Once he has done that in England, maybe he wants to collect a crown in the US. It's not the path for everyone, but some people are intrigued by different types of challenges. Maybe Pep wants to have won in the most top flight leagues of any manager.Pep is in his prime looking for a BIG challenge. When the world's best players that are in their prime come to MLS, I'll buy your premise. Until then, I think not.
I agree with that in principle. I just have a hard time seeing NYCFC (or MLS generally) being interesting to Pep for quite a long while. Probably not as long as his eventual retirement, true, but I'd think at least a decade.It's time to let go of the MLS=retirement view.
But that's what he's doing now, moving from Bayern to the Prem. The Bundesliga will usually be won by Bayern. The Prem has, as evidenced by this season, become far more competitive than it has been in recent decades, and will only become moreso as the fat stacks of ££££ roll in from the new TV deal over the next few seasons.What's a bigger challenge than coming to a league where one team isn't guaranteed to win the league from day 1?
Can't we dream tho?

And at least there he doesn't have to contend with confounding MLS transfer / salary rules, though I could see him maybe being interested in solving that puzzle someday. But probably not until the average talent pool in the league has risen significantly. He can't just have CFG bring in Pogba and Messi like he theoretically could at Man City.
