Pep has stepped down as Barca's coach. Would he be an ideal coach to takeover from Wenger?

I've always found it hard going to categorically say who I want to replace Wenger, but this season I believe Pep is the man and I would welcome him with open arms if he replaced Wenger tomorrow. Plays good football, demands an intense work ethic and is strong on discipline, has all the right ingredients IMO.
The problem is that Wenger won't be going anywhere until 2014 at the earliest, by then Pep will probably have found another club.
He's my choice to Replace AW tbh, like you id love him to come now if the choice was there. But as he is taken a year out it won't happen.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
I've heard worse ideas.
He's off to Liverpool isnt he?
i think pep will struggle in his next job
He's certainly not going to hit the heights he did with Barca, by default because the odds of creating another "best team ever" are pretty slim.
I think it's important he finds the right club. I just hope he doesn't end up at somewhere like Chelsea or City, 2-bit clubs with no honour or prestige with a sense of entitlement.
He strikes me as potentially being "project" manager and that's why I think he's suitable for us. I can also see him as Fergie's successor.
Would love him to take over from Wenger at the end of the season tbh, but I can see Wenger carrying on for another 3 years at least, but which time Pep will have probably found a job as MO says.
Not convinced about Guardiola. As someone else said - let's see how he gets on in his next job. I could've won a lot of trophies if I had messi in my team.
True but then it was Guardiola that moved Messi to a more central role some time in 2008. Perhaps it was a no-brainer but it's a little bit more than just letting him do what he wants - very similar in a way to how Wenger utilised Henry for us.
