Guardiola has many options.

Guardiola is enjoying life without football in New York, USA with his family after four consecutive years of exhausting dedication to Barca.

Chelsea, Man City, MU, Arsenal, Bayern and two Milan clubs, Inter and AC Milan, are considered candidates chosen by Guardiola once he returns to the streets.

Chelsea – odds 2/1 (bet one to win two)

Since knowing that Guardiola wanted to leave Barca, Chelsea was said to be the team that most actively contacted this coach, but could not successfully convince him to change his decision to take a year off.

But once he sees the green light from Guardiola, Abramovich probably will not hesitate to spend a compensation sum to bid farewell to Di Matteo and make room for the coach he has always admired.

Di Matteo has reason to worry about his position at Chelsea, when Guardiola is looking for the right club for his return.

Manchester United – 4/1

Ferguson is currently a monument at Old Trafford, but at the age of 70, this coach is also determined to retire in the near future and has targeted Guardiola as the ideal successor once he retires.

On October 24, many British newspapers reported that Ferguson, CEO David Gill and a member of the MU Glazers owner met Guardiola in New York.

But if they choose Guardiola, the big problem for MU as well as Ferguson is that the Scottish coach does not want to retire at the end of this season.

Manchester City – January 4

With the decision to appoint former Barca Vice President Ferran Soriano and former Catalan Club Football Director Txiki Begiristain as CEO and Sports Director respectively, Man City is said to be paving the way for the arrival of Guardiola – who is also

Man City’s current situation has also given rise to speculation about the Premier League champions pursuing Guardiola.

Overpowering super troublemakers like Balotelli or Tevez is not Guardiola’s forte.

However, even if Man City is determined to study and aim to build a club following Barca’s model – taking youth training as the basis and building a beautiful football style, they will still encounter some obstacles in the short term.

During four years at Nou Camp, the Catalan coach was only used to working with benign players.

Arsenal – February 13

In terms of football philosophy and personnel management, Arsenal is probably the team that best suits Guardiola’s style.

It is also no coincidence that Arsenal is likened to a version of Barca in the Premier League and these two teams like to buy each other’s players (Barca once welcomed Petit, Overmars, Henry, Hleb, Fabregas, Song, Arsenal withdrew Fabregas from

But Wenger is a big obstacle preventing Guardiola and Arsenal from coming together.

Guardiola used to love Arsenal stars, typically Fabregas.

Milan, Inter, Liverpool – same 16/1

Both are monuments at the continental level, but the two Milan teams seem to be losing to the English teams in the race for Guardiola, because he has expressed his intention to work in the Premier League.

Liverpool also aims to build the beautiful tiqui-tacca football style that Barca under Guardiola is a model for.

As for Guardiola, he probably will not come to Liverpool if the Anfield team does not participate in the Champions League next season.
