I get the feeling (to put it mildly) that most Bayern fans won't be too sad to see him go. Any idea who you'd like to see them bring in as his replacement?

i don't know who will come in at bayern, but as pep is remaking the team in his own image (schweinsteiger gone, many small spaniards in) they're going to have to deal with his legacy one way or another. so i'd like to get someone who can manage those players. who that is i don't know.

i don't think i'd want klopp. klopp can be brilliant, but he proved very inflexible once his scheme was broken. he had no tactical alternatives. just like pep. so maybe i'd say "draft heynckes!" ha ha ha. but no, he's retired. someone like him. please not bielsa ha ha ha ha. hey, maybe bielsa! he'd know what to do with a pep team. plus he knows vidal. i don't know... mourinho maybe? like him or not, he seems capable...

as for the english press-- it's very navel-gazing. i.e., they make it like everything revolves around the prem. i hear it in the commentators whenever they narrate a game-- eeeeeeverything refers back to the prem. and of course it doesn't-- the world is big and maybe pep will end up at PSG or something. not that some english clubs won't want him; it's just that there are so many other great places to live and work, and there are so many options. paris or manchester? hmmmm....

maybe he'll end up going back to barcelona! (or move to china)
