I would put a good wager on Pep coming next year if I had one. All the stars are aligned.
He's a rich man's Sarri. Has a reputation for an uncompromising attacking style which doesn't always come off. But you have to say that Pep's sides do buy into his philosophy and adopt his football - for good or ill - almost always. Sarri just hasn't got this group buying in. Pep would at least achieve that.
Questions are:
Would his football stand up in Serie A?
How much autonomy transfer-wise would he need to shape this team?
How long would he need and how long would we actually give him?
He's a coach that needs accommodating and it could take a bit of time to meet all his needs. On the other hand, the club is faced with a 'Ronaldo window' that surely won't last more than two seasons.
