3 possible destinations for Pep Guardiola in the summer

Where will Pep Guardiola be at the start of next season?

2. Paris Saint-Germain

Just like Italy, Guardiola is yet to bring his brand of football to France and there’s no better time than now for that to happen. Paris Saint-Germain are craving for Champions League glory too, already have some of the best players in the world in their armoury and maybe, just maybe, Guardiola’s arrival could convince Kylian Mbappe to stay!

Thomas Tuchel’s position at the hot seat in Paris is under threat, and the recent spat with Mbappe has put his future on doubt. The former Borussia Dortmund manager has above 76% win percentage with the Ligue 1 giants and has enjoyed huge domestic success since taking over PSG. Last season, PSG were cruelly knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Manchester United, and this time, they are already trailing to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the round of 16. While it would be too immature to rule them out of the competition before the second leg, if the PSG hierarchy are looking for alternatives to Tuchel, Guardiola’s availability would have them rubbing their hands in glee.

The Spaniard would also relish the new challenge and PSG’s financial muscle power would represent a viable opportunity to get his hands back on the coveted Champions League trophy that has eluded him for so long.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
