It seems Guardiola is on the brink of quitting to have a break from football, according to Sky and BBC.

apparently guardiola's informed barca he's leaving and it will be announced tomorrow.

not sure what to make of this. the first time he's been under some real pressure and he walks away from a sinking ship... is this the end of barca? i think it could be.

he was the one who put the team together and made some big decisions like selling deco, henry, yaya etc, all the big ego's that previous managers didn't have the bottle to get rid of. he was also instrumental in barca's youth academy, both of which have ultimately helped the team flourish over the past 3 years.

all the players look up to him, i dont think another manager will get the best out of the players like he has done. good tactician too.

hopefully this means messi grows some balls to move away from barca at some point in his career now his idol is leaving, come to the premier league lad you know you want to.

hope pep takes a 2 year sabbatical to 'refresh his mind' and comes back just in time to take over from wenger :bow:

Awesome.

Next Arsenal manager, in my opinion. I just hope he doesn't settle down at another club before Wenger calls it a day. This guy is perfect for us.

This has been mooted for a long time. Even though he has only been there since 2008 he is still one of their longest serving coaches, which goes to show how hard it is to manage the big two in Spain (and how much his physical appearance has deteriorated in that time!). No doubt Guardiola has been immense for them, more than a dozen trophies in four years (well three years really) is absolutely ridiculous.

Decent guy too.

Who on earth could/would take over at Barca?

Apart from Big Sam obviously.

With how many trophy's he has won in a short space of time its not a bad time to walk away imo.

He can take a break recharge and take his next job where ever it maybe.

Its not a suprise this its been known before this season he was moving so id hadly say the pressure got to him and he walked away.
