Guardiola yesterday confirmed he will head to these shores when his contract expires at Bayern Munich in the summer.
The Spaniard looks destined for Manchester City, with leading bookmakers pricing him as short as 1/4 ON to head to the Etihad for his next job.
Guardiola is close with City sporting director Txiki Begiristain and chief executive Ferran Sorian, who he knows well from his time at Barcelona.

But the 44-year-old insists he has not decided on his next club, with Manchester United and Chelsea also in the running.
According to reports, Guardiola has spoken with both Manchester clubs over becoming their next boss.
It is claimed United could still beat City to the former Barcelona coach but have to act quickly - although he has already rejected Chelsea.

And although Arsenal are rank outsiders for Guardiola it is added that he would also consider succeeding Arsene Wenger at the Emirates.
A source told The Sun: "His representatives have received formal calls from City and United. And they have said no to Chelsea, who also called, and turned down Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
"Right now, it is true City are very close and his most likely destination.

"But he has never hidden his huge admiration for Manchester United and also the fact he would love to work there.
"All the options are on the table and no definitive decision has been made.
"And yes, though it's unlikely at this stage, even Arsenal are an option. But they've not made a formal call, though they have inquired about Pep’s situation."
