Its crystal clear d players don't like benitez tactical method..but when dere is a manager change d players suddenly start playing great...just look at Chelsea...won't b surprised xidane allows dem have their way n dey go on a long winning run....we gotta b careful blaugrana

homesteady:
I think they sacked Benitez now so that Zidane would use this 2nd half as learning period in preparation for next season. They were already bound to finish trophyless with Benitez, so they are trying to take advantage of the situation by sacking him and giving Zidane a chance.

MysticZeus:



Zinedine is obviously worse of!

They Might start struggling for a 4th Position sef!


Imagine Sacking a that Lost Just 3 matches out of 25 for a coach that Plunged your B-Team into the abyss of Relegation?

LMAO, Perez is a Clown abeg!

bykebyke:
Barca Madrid rivalry go strong now o

dmcdad:

I think homesteady might just be right. He struggled in his first season with Castilla, but things are looking good for him now being his second. So, they might just want him to try to settle things with the remainder of the season, so that by next season, it will start paying dividend.

pelvicky:
dmcdad....u promise to protest in Spain if benitez is sack......when will u start??

MysticZeus:



Dangerous Gamble!

He's not even a successful B-Team coach as was the Case of. Guardiola and Enrique!


Them wan be like us, but them nor go fit!

dmcdad:

That's the problem. They always wanna work with the Barça model, but ko jór.

Honestly, they should work out their own model.

sebod:

Nawah ooo, even Douglas self dey set record. It can only be Barcelona!

sebod:

You dey mind them?
Rafa only lost 3 matches out of 25, topped the UCL group while the copa scandal was not entirely his fault. If Barca had sacked Lucho same time last year after the Sociedad scandal, we wouldn't be here singing treble. Even though we all know the pot belly man can't win jack, not because he's entirely clueless but because there's a great Barca to compete with, I still don't know why he's not allowed to finish what he started. They can only dream to be like us.

Guardiola, 44, won 14 trophies in four incredible seasons as Barcelona’s manager from 2008-12 as the former Barca midfielder created one of the greatest teams in history.

Since 2013 he has taken that success to the Bundesliga and has led Bayern Munich to back-to-back German titles and added a German Cup along the way, yet success in the UEFA Champions League has evaded him at Bayern.

In terms of where he will be heading to in England, the three aforementioned giants are his most likely destination.

With Chelsea firing Jose Mourinho and currently having Guus Hiddink in charge on an interim basis, they’re on the hunt for a permanent appointment and are said to have already asked Guardiola to name his price.

Manchester City have long been linked with a move for the Catalan native who is closely linked with their directors, Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Sorriano, from the trio all spending time at Barcelona. Those directors and City’s Abu Dhabi owners see Guardiola as the key cog in helping City to elevate itself to becoming one of most famous clubs in the world.

As for Manchester United, their recent struggles have been well documented with Louis Van Gaal under increasing pressure at Old Trafford after $400 million was spent on new players but little progress has been made in terms of becoming contenders for the PL title and Champions League crown.

One thing is for sure, with Guardiola confirming he wants to head to England and already has offers on the table, an all-out battle between three of the PL’s big boys is about to play out for one of the greatest managers in the world.

Pep Guardiola...the world's most sought-after boss...

sebod:

I just wish he coaches Man United. But, I think he's likely heading to City. I wouldn't want him at Chelsea sha. They said he can't make it in the epl as anything that comes from Barça is average. Yet, he's the most sought after coach in the world, even Madrid approached him.

dmcdad:

When I see that Madrid own weeks ago I just laugh. I say see the height of desperation oooooo. Sotey Perez want Pep. How him think say Pep go ever coach Madrid?

Of course anything is possible but...
