Say it ain’t so, Pep
Bayern Munich fans woke up this morning to the news that Pep Guardiola may pack in his job in Bavaria at the end of next season.
While that may not seem all that implausible Bild’s suggestion that Guardiola’s next job will be as manager of the Qatar national team seems a little far-fetched.
Or maybe not?
Guardiola spent two years in Qatar as a player and backed their bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
He has regularly taken his Bayern Munich squad there for training breaks in the Gulf State and would be just the type of figure the Qataris would want to spearhead their team when the eyes of the world will be on them in 2022.
We’re sure any financial package on offer to Guardiola in Qatar will be more than lucrative, but we can’t help but feel he has plenty more to offer in the world of elite club football, even if he feels that three years with Bayern is enough.
We hope so at least.
BILD front page says Pep might swap Bayern for Qatar coach job pre-2022 WC. He did play there & backed WC bid, but surely EPL job first
