Pep Guardiola is tied to a Man City contract until 2023, but Claudio Ranieri has argued that the Catalan will sooner or later come to train in Italy.
Ranieri’s opinion of Pep Guardiola
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has always taken on new starts and new challenges, with a tendency to short spots in any coaching post that has been laid in England. Former Chelsea and Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri believes that the desire to look for something else will eventually lead one of the best in the business to Serie A, and it’s only a matter of time before Pep looks to find another nag. Claudio discussed the lack of success that Italian teams have enjoyed in Europe over the past seasons, talking about the hope for the future that they will return because he sees signs of growth that cannot be overshadowed by the premature elimination of Italian teams. Serie A, which sees the return of Jose Mourinho, of Massimiliano Allegri and possibly Maurizio Sarri as well, will certainly increase the visibility of their entire movement. It’s a pity for Antonio Conte who left Inter, but Ranieri is convinced that Pep Guardiola will come to train in Italy sooner or later. According to Claudio, there is one thing they need to do as soon as possible, however, they need to increase the pace of the game and if they don’t, it is difficult to be competitive.
Questions were asked about the future of Pep
Questions were asked about the 50-year-old’s future at City before he ultimately made a commitment to a new deal in November 2020. Pep claims he still has a lot to achieve at the Etihad Stadium, despite overseeing three Premier League title triumphs in four years. Four Carabao Cup successes were also taken along with the FA Cup win, but the Champions League glory was elusive. City made it to the final in 2021 but suffered a 1-0 defeat to domestic rivals Chelsea, which means Pep’s wait for a third continental crown should stretch beyond the 10-year mark. He is determined to scratch that Manchester itch, which means Serie A will have to wait a little longer before looking to welcome another adorned trainer into his ranks.
