da blaze casino: Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that he will leave the Bavarian giants at the end of the current season when his contract expires, with England his preferred destination.
da apostebet: The Catalan coach is widely adjudged as one of the most distinguish tacticians in world football, with a number of leading Premier League sides in the running to be his next employers.
The fact that Guardiola won 14 trophies over the space of four years at Barcelona and has continued Bayern’s domestic dominance suggests that whoever snaps him up will be amongst the silverware.
Despite the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all being mentioned as possible destinations for the passionate trainer, here are five reasons Manchester United should do everything they can to land him…
A proven winner
Although Sir Alex Ferguson will go down as a football management genius, it was the legendary Scot’s persona and will to win that will always be captured as his most defining attributes.
Although Guardiola does not have the same fire as the former United boss, his meticulous preparation and the measures he goes to in order to ensure success are there for all to see.
Guardiola’s short coaching career to date has been full of silverware and success; something that United have lacked since Ferguson departed. The Spaniard is the man to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.
Tactical acumen
Guardiola has shown real tactical versatility in his coaching career, switching formations and approaches at both Barcelona and Bayern.
United meanwhile look one-dimensional and predictable in the way they line-up, which makes it easier for the opposition to frustrate them.
Guardiola’s problem-solving skills and study of every opponent sees him present a way to win before every game, which more often than not works.
The Bayern boss would offer fresh ideas and a new tactical approach that is much needed in Manchester.
An attacking football ethos
The cries from the Old Trafford faithful of ‘attack, attack!’ have been far too prevalent this season, as Louis van Gaal has failed to deliver the expansive style of football that the supporters became accustomed to over the glory years.
Guardiola’s team always look to get the ball down and play, but most importantly use attack as the first form of defence.
Having the Catalan trainer urge the Red Devils to express themselves in the final third would bring style back to the club, with Guardiola sure to get the team back playing attacking football.
Frustrate City
Cross-town rivals Manchester City are clearly one of the frontrunners for Guardiola’s signature and are eyeing up a period of dominance under the retired midfielder.
However, the Spaniard is a romantic at heart and would surely relish managing a historically illustrious club like United over a newly rich one like City.
Guardiola moving to Old Trafford would boost United’s chances, but also severely damage their local rivals’ ambitions in the process.
Transfer drawcard
United will clearly be keen to bolster their squad this summer and a massive drawcard for potential new faces would be to work under Guardiola.
Just whether the 44-year-old could tempt former players from Camp Nou or the Allianz Arena to United remains to be seen, but potential signings would surely be more tempted by a move to the Red Devils with him at the helm.
Guardiola is always clear in his transfer thinking and will go all out to land the players that he wants, which would be a change from the dithering approaches United have been guilty of in recent years.
