Shocking rumors making grounds have it that former Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola may replace Arsene Wenger at the Emirates.

“Carlo is a calm, level-headed expert who knows how to work with stars and plays a brand of football rich in variety. We look forward to working together”.

Pellegrini also offered words of encouragement to axed Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, claiming he could emerge a stronger manager for his experience this term. The Spaniard is widely regarded as one of the best and most decorated managers in the last decade.

Second-placed Borussia Dortmund are now eight points behind Bayern after crashing to a 2-1 defeat at Cologne as the hosts scored twice in the final 10 minutes. They have crashed out of the Champions League at the group stages and lost to EPL strugglers Bournemouth in their last domestic match.

The former Villarreal and Real Madrid coach says he is pleased with what he has brought to City since joining in 2013.

“They have been super all year, be it in the Bundesliga, in the Champions League or in the DFB-Pokal”.

The “BVB” suffered the third loss of the season to sit eight points adrift of front-runners Bayern Munich. “I am sure that he will be very important for the club”.

The Catalan appears nearly certain to be heading to the Premier League, although he too could opt instead for another sabbatical, having already taken a year out following four success-filled years in charge of Barca.

Bayern extended their lead atop the standings thanks to Thomas Mueller’s 1-0 victor against Hannover while Cologne came from behind to shock runners-up Dortmund 2-1 at the 17th round of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Now we drive to the airport with the bus and we will talk some more.

“Is (Guardiola) better than what they’ve got?”

“When I heard of the club’s interest, I didn’t want to consider any other offer”.

I think Pep is one of the best coaches in the world, so if he doesn’t continue at Bayern, maybe a lot of clubs can try to have him manage their team.
