Pep Guardiola don officially call time on im legendary stay at Manchester City, leaving behind 20 trophies after a decade of dominance for the Etihad Stadium.
While the Catalan tactician go take a temporary sabbatical, speculation dey mount about where im next go land.
Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez believe say after conquering club football for Spain, Germany, and England, im former mentor dey destined for the international stage.
Xavi talk say Guardiola don do everything for club level, so the next step na to handle a national team.
Guardiola na the Premier League second-most-successful manager behind only Sir Alex Ferguson, and im influence on the game even pass im successes.
Im positional, heavy-possession style become the default template for basically every rich club for Europe, including the three wey im coach: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Man City.
But as the game adapt to im innovation, im bin fervent for adapting to the adaptations.
Im bin guilty of overthinking sometimes, and e cost am Champions League title or two.
Real Madrid and the away goals rule also cost am some.
But most of sport famous system-builders fail to expand beyond their system.
Guardiola fit seemingly think of nothing but that expansion.
Im legacy go be impacted to some degree by any eventual decision on City 115 charges of financial misconduct, but im already an all-time great when e arrive for Manchester, and im overall impact on the game untouchable.
At only 55 years old, Guardiola fit easily get at least a couple of stops left for im career if im choose.
But while we dey wait to find out how im next act go unfold, and how likely successor Enzo Maresca go fare for im shadow, we need to reflect.
