Pep was at Barcelona for four years, Bayern for three. His contract at City is until the end of the 2021 season which would be five years. His work ethic is so intense and his curiosity about other challenges is so great that I believe there is little chance he will stay longer. For personal and professional reasons I think he will want to move on.
But although the CL is a target it’s not the only reason he was brought to City. He was brought to ensure that a blueprint was created, a foundation established to build upon. He will have fundamentally changed the footballing DNA of this football club and left a permanent mark on English Football. It has been interest to read some of the newspapers yesterday with journos praising him. They were so sceptical before he arrived many of them. None of them are admitting it now.
