Pep GUARDIOLA is a BARCELONA' NEW COACH 😱 So, what it will be? | WHAT IF

It's been 3 months since Xavi announced his departure from Barcelona at the end of the season, yet the club hasn't found a replacement.

Well, we did it for them. In this video, Fanatico will tell you about Barcelona if Pep Guardiola returns, what challenges the coach will face, and why this scenario is much more likely than we all think. Subscribe to our channel and let's get started!

Time to come back

It is time, Laporta, to call Pep Guardiola. Barcelona need a coach, and Pep Guardiola has always said that if Barcelona needs him, he will not say no. Well, now Barcelona need him, – this is the message sent by the Spanish media outlet Sport in one of their recent articles.

It is true that Guardiola has repeatedly spoken warm words about Barcelona since leaving the club in 2012. However, paying compliments and talking about returning as a coach are different things.

Basically, Pep recently said that he would not refuse to coach the Catalans again.

If I'm managing here or wherever it is and Barca call me, I'll go to Barcelona. It's my club, – he stated this January.

It's not just words that Guardiola is ready to consider the offer or think about it. He is saying directly that he will return to the club if he is called.

The fact that Barcelona have not yet taken Pep's appointment seriously is very surprising. Before that, the Catalans tried to reach an agreement with various coaches. They failed with Jurgen Klopp because the German plans to take a break from football. Arteta refused to leave Arsenal. There were rumors about Flick, Tuchel, Alonso or Amorim, but none of these options are either possible or suitable for Barcelona's management.

Whatever one may say, Guardiola is the perfect option for the Blaugrana. Who else but the most successful coach of the club in the 21st century, and perhaps in the entire history of Barca, should be invited to revive the cules in these difficult times.

You may ask why Pep, who feels great at Manchester City, needs this. But he has several reasons for changing clubs.

First, he said that he would not be able to refuse Barca if the club called him. His career in the Catalan capital is not just a check mark on his resume.

Barça is the club of my heart. Barcelona is the reason why I am standing here, Barcelona is part of my life, – Pep said at The Best award ceremony this winter.

Secondly, each of us needs motivation to move forward. At Manchester City, Guardiola has already achieved everything he could have dreamed of. Last year, he won the Champions League, which was the first in City's history. It was Pep's ultimate goal, and he achieved it with flying colors - winning not only the UCL, but also ending the season with a treble.

By closing this last gestalt, Guardiola risks losing motivation. Of course, his love for football will not allow him to give up in any case, but in England he has nothing to prove anymore. On the domestic stage, City are completely dominant, and moreover, his main rival Jurgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool.

In this situation, a new challenge is what Pep needs. Money will not be a problem. Barca won't be able to pay him as much as he was getting in Manchester, but Guardiola has already earned enough not to worry about his salary.

On the other hand, to lead Barca, which is in a deep financial crisis, to get out of this situation with the club and win the Champions League again - this is an incredibly strong motivation.

If Pep returns, for the first time in his career he will have a club that will not be able to make all the transfers he wants, but it will be a home harbor filled with fantastic young talent.

Haters have accused Guardiola of only being able to win with the best teams. Well, if he can shut up all the critics, it will take him to a new level in the talk of the top 1 coach in history. Isn't that exciting?

So Guardiola in Barcelona - how will it be?

Transfers

If Pep becomes Barcelona's new manager, the club will certainly make some transfers for him. This time Guardiola will not get the same Barca that he was entrusted with in 2008.

Back then, he had the experienced Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Eto'o and Toure, who were ready to lead the team. Recall that immediately after his arrival, Pep put up for transfer and said goodbye to such club legends as Ronaldinho and Deco - that's what he could do.

Dani Alves, Seydou Keita, Gerard Pique and Alexander Gleb were the transfers in at the time. Also, the still unknown Busquets and Pedro were promoted from the youth team. Let's not forget that Pep got his hands on 22-year-old Leo Messi as well.

This is the squad and transfer opportunities Guardiola had back then. Now everything is a little different. Barca lack experienced top players in all lines, and the transfer budget is very limited.
