Pep Guardiola leaving barca at the end of the season!!!!!

[Pat McCrotch]

100% confirmed, sick of the pressure and I dont blame him, jose will be next!!!!

Good Luck to him,

next job will be in England either city or utd!!!

[BigBurk]

Not really a surprise though. Although the part that he is "sick of the pressure" is pure crap. Not once have I read that somewhere.

I'm curious as to who will be his successor... First guess would be Bielsa.

[latinrus]

Lot of people talking about Bielsa.

But I don´t know, Bielsa is a tough guy, he may say no and stay in Bilbao, he already said no to Inter and to some other teams I think.

Bielsa usually leaves just if he doesn't feel comfortable.

So true, I really liked what he did with Chile but then everything fell and he left. Bilbao in EL and Copa del rey final and still in contention for CL spot and Europa spot.

You are kidding me right?!!

England is by far the worst when it comes to the press slaughtering managers.

Alex ferguson has banned journalists for far less, wenger has walked out of press confrences,

The press conference after el classico was a disgrace. The press were questioning peps managerial skills,

They wouldnt dare do that at a press conference in england

Maybe in the papers yes

Sources close to pep have said it was the pressure he was put under. Just remember madrid have sacked coaches in the past who have won the champions league, the pressure in spain is far worse as u dont just have to win, u have to play a certain way.

[OGUCCI-SBR]

Don't fold under pressure.

[latinrus]

Pat McCrotch I agree! Spanish press is a disgrace, u can find a lot of examples of the stupid things they do in press conferences.



Well Tito Vilanova is going to be the new manager

That was not expected!

Absolute torture the media gives to players and coaches.

[Pat McCrotch]

Absolute torture the media gives to players and coaches.

I think its the fact they were questioning him as a manager after all he has won that was the final straw.

Look what he has won:

• La Liga (3): 2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11
• Copa del Rey (1): 2008–09
• Supercopa de España (3): 2009, 2010, 2011
• UEFA Champions League (2): 2008–09, 2010–11
• UEFA Super Cup (2): 2009, 2011
• FIFA Club World Cup (2): 2009, 2011

The way he was treated the last few weeks is just not acceptable!!!!!

Jose has been treated like dirt too!!!!

[Punter101]

Yeah what do you expect, Spanish media take their football a tad bit too serious

[Lookingtostart]

Astounding.

[BigTimeWinner]

Oh well, thanks to him for bringing us so many titles. Now any manager can manage this great team

[RubberKettle]

Tito Vilanova is the new manager

[Dark Horse]

Rijkaard did a similar thing before Guardiola. They're player coaches, and they know when their impact is no longer there. Barca needs a new wind, because their game has become too predictable. It started out with the Dutch school, but the quick little passing to break through the heart of the defense is Argentinian school. They're barely using the wings anymore. Every opponent knows what's coming and clogs up the middle.

most stupid comment ever ... he wanted to stop last year but somehow he kept going. When there is no desire to do something, whats the point of pushing it hard.

Tito + Jordi Alba + one stiker + villa back = Barca madrid 6-0

[BlueHell]

Sad to see

[cr712Bet]

So sad when heard this news, but that's fact. Hope Barca will get La Liga next year.
