Coach Guardiola is 'making things difficult' for owner Sheikh Mansour

(Baonghean.vn) - British media said that right after the openingWith the magnificent Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi, what Sheikh Mansour - the owner of Man City, needs to do right now is to extend the contract with coach Guardiola..

People are warning the owner of Man City, one of the three richest people on the planet because Pep - who has a history of never coaching more than 4 seasons at the same team, from Barcelona to Bayern Munich. Currently, Man City has extended the record of 16 consecutive victories in the Premier League, creating an 11-point gap compared to the nearest rival, Man United.

With such records, if Pep Guardiola is not bored and loses motivation, he will be lured by big football clubs in Europe and even China with generous salaries.

Too successful

Pep currently holds the record with Bayern Munich, with 19 wins spanning from October 2013 to March 2014 - this is also the longest winning streak in Europe's top 5 leagues. Far surpassing Italy (Inter Milan, 17 wins), Spain (Barcelona and Real Madrid, 16 wins) and France (Monaco (16 wins).

Thus, Pep is the only coach to lead 3 clubs to the record of the most consecutive wins in Germany, Spain and now England.

In fact, Sheikh Mansour initially wanted to invite Pep Guardiola to commit to a long-term future at the Etihad Stadium, with the vision of turning the club into a powerful empire like Sir Alex Ferguson once created at Old Trafford.

Manchester City will do their utmost to ensure Pep Guardiola commits to a long-term future at the Etihad Stadium, with the club set to begin talks on a new contract at the end of the season.

Accordingly, Man City will extend for another year, until 2020, which is considered a sure possibility of success, with a salary much higher than the figure of 12 million pounds/season (which is already the highest in the world for a coach). However, with the current successes, owner Sheikh Mansour will certainly have to reconsider.

Perhaps Sheikh Mansour himself could not have imagined that Man City would succeed so quickly and so soon, winning every match, breaking many records. A success beyond the expectations of the owner of Etihad Stadium and the fans of half of Manchester.

Had to open the wallet

If we wait until the end of the season to negotiate with Pep Guardiola, then as the reigning Premier League champion, with a series of records on the pitch, even winning the Champions League, things will be much more difficult.

The Arab bosses at that time wanted to convince Pep, in addition to salary, they also had to commit to bringing in the expensive players that Pep wanted. While the biggest obstacle was not money, Sheikh Mansour would certainly open his wallet early.

Sheikh Mansour is known to be a big spender in European football. He is a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family - the most powerful empire in the 7 countries of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In addition, Sheikh Mansour is also the half-brother of Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan - President of the UAE.

It is rumored that Man City are preparing to reward Pep Guardiola with a super contract at the end of the season, worth 100 million pounds. It is a new 5-year contract, with a salary of about 15 million pounds/season, along with bonuses to become the highest-paid coach on the planet.

Man City's current schedule is quite favorable. This Tuesday, they will visit Leicester to win and enter the semi-finals of the League Cup. In the 19th round of the Premier League, they will host Bournemouth, who are ranked 16th, at home with the goal of winning big to end the first leg impressively and prepare to surpass the 19th consecutive win, a record for European football.

Man City also started the FA Cup round 3 quite lightly with the match against Burnley on January 6. The remaining opponent in the other important front, the Champions League, is only Basel, who are rated lower in every aspect. Man City will visit the opponent's field in the round of 16 on February 13.
