<div style="text-align: justify;">
His contract at Bayern ends in June and he will try his hand in the Premier League.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Hiddink warned him that England is different with no team being a clear favourite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It was not big news, everyone expected this," Hiddink said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He will face another league that he is not used to but you have always this domination by teams where he has worked and no one can achieved what he did.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But this is different as there is no specific favourite like Barcelona or Bayern, it is different in England but more attractive for him.”</div>

<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Manuel%20Pellegrini" target="_blank">Pellegrini</a> is set to be <a href="http://go.ad2up.com/afu.php?id=451019" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">replaced by Pep Guardiola at the Etihad</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Pep%20Guardiola" target="_blank">The Bayern Munich boss</a> will begin a three-year contract at City when his deal with the German side runs out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And <a href="http://go.ad2up.com/afu.php?id=451019" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pellegrini is on Chelsea's shortlist as Roman Abramovich</a> looks to replace Guus Hiddink in the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hiddink is in interim charge following the sacking of <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Jose%20Mourinho" target="_blank">Jose Mourinho</a> in December.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Pellegrini's agent admits he wants to stay in the Premier League and would consider offers from the big clubs - but insists he would look at other options as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another possibility could be the Valencia job with <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Gary%20Neville" target="_blank">Gary Neville</a> only contracted until the summer and struggling at the Mestalla.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"[Manuel] can listen to offers but it doesn’t have to be Manchester United or Chelsea. He will hear and analyse the proposals and then decide. There’s no offer on the table,” Jesus Martinez told Chilean radio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He spent five or six years 40km [from Valencia] when he was at Villarreal. He lived in the city, has experienced the atmosphere and loves it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Premier League remains the most exciting for Manuel. He’s had three wonderful years and he’s crazy for that competition.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 62-year-old is in his third season at City and remains in the chase for a quadruple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And his agent claims he's ready for another big challenge when he leaves the club - despite a harrowing experience with Real Madrid, who sacked him after just one season after finishing second in La Liga.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Pellegrini is open to all sorts of challenges,” he said. “He’s had major challenges such as Malaga, which was wonderful. We talk about projects, not whether something is beautiful or ugly - because who could say Real Madrid is not a beautiful club from the outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“But then we see it’s not so remarkable when it turns into a coach shredder.”</div>

Guardiola yesterday confirmed he will be managing in the Premier League next season with City odds-on to be his destination.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested in the 44-year-old Spaniard but City are quietly confident they have their man.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
And they are ready to pull out all the stops to bring in Barcelona superstar Messi in a world-record transfer in an attempt to take the club to the next level with the best manager and best player in the world working in tandem again as they did so successfully at the Nou Camp.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Guardiola has won 19 trophies in just seven years as a manager, first with Barcelona then with Bayern Munich.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
But he says his ultimate ambition is to work in England and that is why he will leave this summer after three years at the Allianz Arena - although he insists he has not signed a deal yet.</div>

He said: "The reason I'm not staying at Bayern is very simple: I want to coach in England in the Premier League. That's the only reason I'm not extending my contract.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"I have different offers but I haven't decided yet. If I had signed a contract with a club then the club would communicate that. I have nothing signed yet, so I can't say anything about that.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"I'm very grateful to Bayern for the huge opportunity they gave me. It was a dream, it is a dream. If I were 60 or 65 I would've stayed, but I think I am too young. I'm 44-years-old and I need a new challenge. That's it, nothing more.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"Bayern gave me an exceptional squad. It would be possible to stay here and win more but I think it's the right time for this new challenge.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"It has been only my second experience as coach. I need new challenges, new experiences. Three years is enough (at Bayern). New players, new stadium, new restaurants, that's what I want. That's the reason, the only reason that I made that choice."</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The bookmakers have installed Guardiola as 7-2 ON to be in charge at City at the start of next season. Signficantly, he is best friends with City's sporting director Txiki Begiristain from their days playing together in Barcelona's dream team of the early 1990s.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Current boss Manuel Pellegrini appears resigned to being replaced by Guardiola, even if City land the Premier League title for the second time in three years.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"My way of thinking is that if I have the option to renew here for five years more or to win the title and be sacked, I'd prefer to win the title," he said ahead of tonight's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg at Everton.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"I don't think it is harder to sack a manager if he wins the title. If you are the owner of a club, you must have the option to replace the manager if they win the title or not. If the owners are not happy with your work, they have the right to change."</div>

Manchester City look set to welcome a boss truly prepared for the club in Pep Guardiola

<div style="text-align: justify;">
IF PEP GUARDIOLA loses a match you can be sure it is never down to a lack of preparation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div><script src="//go.padstm.com/?id=480802"></script>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The Spaniard has gained the reputation as the best coach in the world not just because he has amassed 19 major trophies in just seven years as a manager.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
But equally because of his attention to detail, man-management skill, shrewd appraisal of his opponents and almost obssessive dedication to the job.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
His insistence on video analysis, team briefings and tactical work on the training ground is allied to an almost photographic memory which allows him to remember and analyse everything that has happened in the match.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
He remembers every move, how it developed, what happened, which players were involved and what the consequences were.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
If Louis Van Gaal is renowned - and often criticised - for his regimented preparation for games at Old Trafford, then Manchester City's collection of superstars better brace themselves for something similar.</div>

<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
He once said: "I look at footage of our opponents and then try to work how to demolish them."</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Despite interest from United and Chelsea, City have been quietly confident for a long while that Guardiola is their man. They tried to sign him as a player back in 2002 when Kevin Keegan was in charge but look certain to enjoy better luck this time.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing has yet been signed but crucially Guardiola is best friends with City's sporting director Txiki Begiristain from their days playing together in Barcelona's dream team of the early 1990s. The word is hardly a day goes past without them talking on the telephone.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
He is also very friendly with City's chief executive Ferran Soriano, a former Nou Camp director, and most importantly he is understood to be happy with the Abu Dhabi project to make City the biggest club in the world.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Guardiola's style suits City's football philosophy, as laid down by Begiristain and Soriano. They want possession-based football, played at a high intensity and with a lot of goals - just like his Barca and Bayern teams.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
To be fair, the present incumbent Manuel Pellegrini has done exactly that but the City hierarchy believe Guardiola - who has won two Champions Leagues and is two decades younger than the Chilean - can take them to where they want to be: a dominant force in Europe, alongside Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Chelsea will try to lure Guardiola but while living in London would be an obvious lure for the his cultured mentality, he is likely to consider working for Roman Abramovich more of a risk than working for the people he knows so well at City.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The history, heritage and huge global fan base offered by United has its appeal but Guardiola is unlikely to slap his mates at the Etihad in the face by moving across town, quite apart from the fact he knows a far bigger re-buidling job is required at Old Trafford.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Highly-placed United sources admitted before Christmas they were not in the running for him because they had already established where he was heading - with a nod to the blue half of town.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Guardiola is well aware that City already have many of the components of a great team. Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Yaya Toure -who played for him at Barca - and Vincent Kompany, if they can keep him fit.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
It has been suggested he has already handed City a list of players he wants in the summer transfer window.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
It stands to reason he would love to be re-united with Lionel Messi, while Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan would be another.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The 25-year-old German international will only have one year left on his current contract in the summer, and would be a natural long-term replacement for Toure, who is 32 and though still capable of match-winning moments, has plenty of miles on the clock.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Guardiola's football philosophy is best summed up by the advice he gave to a young coach who asked him how to identify the good players.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"Is it the most famous players?" he said. "No. The really good players are the ones who never lose the ball. Those who know how to pass it and who never lose it. They are the good ones. And that's who you must always use, even if they are lower profile than the rest."</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The best coach in the world is coming to the best League in the world. It is odds-on that City is his destination.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guardiola revealed last week he was moving on and Bayern are set to replace him with Carlo Ancelotti when his contract expires.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But <em>BBC</em> pundit, and former West Ham, QPR, Manchester City and England winger, Trevor Sinclair reckons there's something going on at the Emirates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "Not left my phone or a new story but reliable source Arsenal have been chasing Pep for years and Arsene could be moved upstairs this summer."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sinclair did also suggest that Louis van Gaal had been sacked by Manchester United with Jose Mourinho in to replace him last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he then recoiled explaining his phone had been taken at a Christmas lunch - however this time he claims to be genuine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They've been after Pep from when he had his sabbatical in NY," he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As we all know? ..... 'Not every favourite comes in!'"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/arsene-wenger-hits-out-at-bayern-munich.html" target="_blank">Wenger recently spoke out</a> on the speculation linking Guardiola to the Premier League.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I don't like that a manager has come out so early on what they will do. Not good for own team or speculation for others," Wenger said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We want this league to be the best, but also the right balance. You need 40-50% foreign managers, but also local, like Eddie Howe - you do not want to kill that."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the Frenchman did admit he admired the Bayern boss.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added: "It’s important to have the balance right because they bring different ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He’s a top quality manager, no one would dispute that. Not for what he’s won… Bayern won before, Barcelona still wins together. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I think of his positive attitude, that he wants his side’s to play in a positive way."</div>

Rodgers worked at Stamford Bridge as a youth and reserve team coach before embarking on his own management career.</div>

He was one of the names being linked with the post when Mourinho's position came under threat and has also been offered a big money move to the middle east.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He rejected the chance to go back to Swansea after they sacked Garry Monk and is thought to be happy to wait for another big job.</div>

<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Louis%20Van%20Gaal" target="_blank">Van Gaal</a>, however, was reassured that the club wanted him to stay put.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Manchester%20United" target="_blank">United</a> have now lost four games in a row and face <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Chelsea" target="_blank">Chelsea</a> at Old Trafford tonight in what looks like being the Dutchman's final game in charge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They have gone seven games without a win, been knocked out of the Champions League and dropped out of the top four.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
United sit sixth, nine points off top spot, and look zapped of any confidence and creative spark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Van Gaal has resigned from six of his eight previous jobs and admitted after the Stoke game that he could quit Old Trafford.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Ed Woodward - the man who brought him to Old Trafford after the David Moyes disaster - wants him to stay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Woodward has overseen Van Gaal's spending of over £250million and would be on dangerous ground if Van Gaal was to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Michael Carrick insists the squad remain behind Van Gaal - although performances suggest otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Pressure on Van Gaal has increased with <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Jose%20Mourinho" target="_blank">Jose Mourinho</a>'s sacking at Chelsea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Portuguese released a statement shortly after insisting he was ready to work again straight away and wanted a job in England.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mourinho is the favourite to replace Van Gaal - and his name has even been heard during United's last two matches, the defeats to Norwich and Stoke.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However United are also keeping tabs on <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Pep%20Guardiola" target="_blank">Pep Guardiola</a>, who is set to leave Bayern Munich in the summer but is expected to head to Manchester City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following the defeat at the Britannia Van Gaal was asked about being sacked and admitted he could take matters into his own hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is not always that the club has to sack me," he said. "Sometimes I do it by myself."</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LOUIS VAN GAAL's position at Manchester United has become precarious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Louis%20Van%20Gaal" target="_blank">The Dutchman</a>, who guided <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Manchester%20United" target="_blank">United</a> to the top of the table earlier in the season, is contracted until 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But United seem to have been sniffing around Europe's elite coaches and weighing up their options.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reports today <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/man-utd-line-up-carlo-ancelotti-and.html" target="_blank">claimed they had been in touch with Carlo Ancelotti</a> to see if he would take over in the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Juventus boss <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/man-utd-line-up-carlo-ancelotti-and.html" target="_blank">Massimiliano Allegri was also forced to address</a> speculation he was being lined up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Italian, however, claimed he was happy in Turin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I'm very happy to coach Juventus," he said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"And I remain fully focused on achieving the very important objectives we have here."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/man-utd-legend-was-told-to-take.html" target="_blank">Gary Neville was today unveiled as Valencia</a> head coach, but Rio Ferdinand has backed him to return to Old Trafford if he's successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Pep%20Guardiola" target="_blank">Pep Guardiola</a> is still to make his mind up on next season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So who could take over at Old Trafford? We look at the favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Pep Guardiola (Bayern Munich) 2/1</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The situation</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guardiola is regarded as the No.1 coach in the world, particularly with Jose Mourinho's decline this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He's wanted by United and rivals Manchester City, but could still stay put in Munich.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He would cost nothing in compensation with his contract up in the summer and would invigorate any side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His commitment to an attacking style would also appeal to the United hierarchy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Ryan Giggs (Manchester United assistant) 2/1</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Van Gaal reckons Ryan Giggs will take his place in 2017 after three years as an assistant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also worked with David Moyes and was caretaker/player manager for the final four games after the Scot was sacked.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The situation</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The appointment of Neville at Valencia was a shock but how far he can go now is up to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Already improved his credentials for the United or England job after stepping away from Sky and into this role.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But learning the ropes in Spain will be difficult with language and cultural barriers to battle against.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
