Of course he's arrogant, so is Jose, so is Klopp, Ancelotti. Same with top players, anyone who thinks Messi has no ego and Ronaldo is arrogant... Some people are just better at faking it. You don't make it to the top at anything without being arrogant and dare I say insecure at the same time. Pep uses fake humility, Jose uses fake arrogance and Klopp fakes being the average Joe that got a football manager job. They are all arrogant, all confident and in Pep and Jose in particular insecure at the same time. I find Conte the most honest of all the top coaches and the one who gives off his real personality in interviews most.
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola | Pep on City v Liverpool ref: "He likes to be special"
- Thread starter Adisa
- Start date
Congrats to Pep for his first Premier League title! He has 3 consecutive with Barcelona and 3 consecutive with Bayern Munchen. Is this the first one from 3 consecutive titles with Manchester City also!? I dont know. One thing is for sure - his team will get better next season. Will the opposition be better ?!
Of course they will, I expect us to be better next season but maybe not pick up as many points. A huge amount depends on Chelsea/Liverpool though.
The first bald manager to win the league 
Thats only because Conte was hair doping.The first bald manager to win the league
For most of the season, Pep and City have been hair to the throneThe first bald manager to win the league
The record PL winning margin stands at 18 points (United 1999/2000), the current gap is 16.
Honestly, congrats to Pep on winning the EPL. He’s revolutionized the game and is an innovator.
However, Pep only joins ready-made teams with £Billion transfer budgets. Like who wouldn’t win the league with such a budget? In that sense it’s expected as so it’s not a huge deal he won. He should have won the quadruple hahah.

Officially Pep Guardiola will be the manager of Manchester City till 2021.

Might not be seeing a league title for a while then..
To be completely honest, but I don't understand why some people on RedCafe calling Pep a failure for not winning CL after his Barca sejour.
Do you also believe that Sir Alex Fergusson is a failure as well for only winning 2 CL in 27 years as a Man United manager?
Pep is having a managerial career similar to SAF, he's a juggernaut for winning leagues (7 in 9 years) just like SAF used to dominated the EPL.
Now I think SAF is the greatest manager ever, but I just dislike double standards.

Pep..Next year I stay at City but after that we'll see.
I want to win a World Cup in the future.
From reddit, doesn't seem to be an English translation online?

Did he really say that? Quite a statement if true.
Wonder how his current employers feel about it.
Why wait? There's a World Cup in less than 2 weeks
SAF won those titles with average players in the squad. Once he got a world class first XI he won the UCL, reached the final again. His talisman left but still managed to reach UCL final again 2 years later.
Pep has only managed world teams. The treble winning Bayern side was pure quality. He got few average players in the city squad and he couldn't win anything. You just can't compare him to SAF.
There are 4 years left till the next World Cup so i believe Pep will be at City exactly till 2021. One year will be more than enough to prepare the eventual NT for the World Cup..
Qatar aren’t in this one.Why wait? There's a World Cup in less than 2 weeks
Seriously? Half of the games in a World Cup year are nothing games like today.
If Pep really wants a go at a world cup then he'd want a full 3/4 years to implement his style.
He couldn't get City playing his way in a year and be trains them everyday
Think he would need more than a year but I'd be surprised if Pep left next summer anyway, the whole club is built around him as a manager you feel.
He'll take the Qatar job for a massive payday.
To win a world cup there are few jobs he could take. Germans prefer long term works with their own personal. Brazil will never pick a foreigner as coach. Italians dont play his style. So Argentina, France or Spain.
He won't go anywhere unless they're so heavily favourites they barely even need a coach. Brazil 1970 would be right up his street.
To be fair: You also can't compare the opposition Pep is currently facing to those SAF has faced. City, United, Chelski, Spurs, Pool, Arsenal. The PL was never as competitive as it is right now, but still Pep has dominated the league this season with ease. And Pep is not the only one spending huge funds into his team.
Also City was far from beeing a world team (compared to Barca and Bayern) until Pep has arrived. Well they still aren't, but i can see them becoming one under Pep.
He'll wait until Mbappe, Martial, Coman, Pogba, Dembele, Varane, Pavard and Griezmann are in their prime before replacing Deschamps.
But only if the world's best players are paid enough to take residency as honourable Qatari nationals. Pep doesn't work with numptie players as Ronnie O Sullivan would say. Should cost Qatar about £5bn-10bn to achieve. Peanuts to them and Pep's spending capacity.
Well that’s just wrong. Ferguson had truly worthy adversaries and some of the best premier league rivals we have ever had. The most recent premier league was abysmal with almost every team in a transition or upheaval. Arsenal were a disaster, Chelsea imploded after Xmas to have a terrible season, Tottenham took time to get going and weren’t even in their own stadium and it showed, Liverpool were a cup side again. United as we can all see are not near the level we once were. Every team from 9th down were relegation candidates. It was a horrific standard. Look at the state of Everton.
In 99 there was a 38 point difference between first and 17th. Arsenal and chelsea could easily have won the title and deserved it if so. Thats one example of many many seasons. This year there was a 38 point difference between 1st and 6th. City were the most consistent and worthy champions in one of the weakest most inconsistent campaigns in years.
Boiling two decades of premier league football, teams, classic players into 'the opposition fergie faced.
It’s unbelievably typical of the modern fan to just blatantly rewrite history.

Fernandinho cost them for both goals. Couldn't happen to a better guy.
Arteta out talking to the media. Where’s Pep?
Needed to take the line.
Rafael 
Arteta took the pre-match as well because Pep was suspended.
Here's to 4 more.
Pretty accurate
You mean, the way he transformed Bayern from a side that wiped the floor with Real and Barcelona to a side that had their asses handed to him by those two sides? Oh and that was also beaten by Atletico.
He will never win the CL again unless he has a once in a lifetime group of players like he had at Barcelona. You are free to call me out on this.
Will nary a hear of peep of this in the media in about 5 hours time...
They've been a bit eh this season.
My boy Nabil Fekir'd them.
