He's apparently been "unsettled" there for a while, but has got the team playing amazing, winning football in that time. This season is a bit of a damp squib by their exalted standards, but still an odd one IMO.
Mourinho for the job???

They review it season by season with him, an arrangement both he and the club are happy with. Even if he goes, i imagine he will leave as something of a legend with the club and fans.

I read something by a Spanish reporter somewhere that this is a tactic he uses to keep the players on their toes and keep them guessing, not sure if that's the case or not

Most successful Barca manager ever.
Read one of the Catalan papers today, looks a certainty he will go barring a last minute change of heart.
Marcelo Bielsa and Luis Enrique both mentioned as possible replacements.

Only a matter of time before he walks up Albion Road as manager. Hopefully, he won't change our style of play radically.
I suppose he might persuade some former colleagues of his - Xavi, Messi, Iniesta - to join him but they'd have to cool their heels on the bench till they get their debuts.

He should take the director of football role. Could possibly do a job in midfield.

Good timing, that team has reached its peak. They might come up with a plan B once in a while now.

I told ye's he would go if they lost!
Sky was linking him to the Etihad if Mancini can't win the title.
But I think he genuinely wants to take time out, being the barca manager must be tough work

Rosell was having lunch with him yesterday and pretty much put a blank cheque on the table for him and said put whatever he wants on it and renew...

Guardiola at Spurs (Harry to England) would make for a very interesting EPL.
If he's wanting to take a break though, Mancini will be long gone and the Spurs job wont be available (unless they've bombed)
And if Jose was to join Man U in a couple of years when SAF retires......

To try and paint Guardiola as a coach with only one plan is laughable.
Guardiola won 13 trophies in 4 years, with beautiful, fluid, mesmerising football. Sometimes Messi played wide, sometimes not. Eto'o, Henry and Ibrahimovic all played their parts, though only Eto'o truly played his best under him. Sometimes a back three, often a back four - those this doesn't really cover the variation they often employed.
Thankfully, the history books will probably record this as one of the best football teams every assembled (if not the best), and not this kind of snide comment.

I suppose there's a chance he could take a year out and then return to Barca some day.

Been hearing from a highly respected agent, who has many City players on his books that they have already spoke to him. Chelsea are sniffing but no contact as of yet. Mankinni has had far to many bust ups with players, that the board are worried could effect next season.

However I think when Real win their league, Jose will walk straight into Old Trafford when Fergie retires after also winning the league.
Both leaving their respective teams at the top in the knowledge that it will be harder to repeat the same feat next season.

Any other team with about 80% posession over two games and playing ten men at home for over a half, with no recognised centre halfs and messing about the way they did for the last half hour continually trying to isaloate amna wide or playing the one two's at the edge of the box would have come under heavy criticism.
It wasn't working, they have players capable of striking ball and there should have been a change of approach.
They've had a good last two or three years but I think that team will be starting to wane.

Catalan media today is running that Guardiolas successor will be given 'unlimited spending power'. Having a core of Pique, Iniesta, Messi and Sanchez to build around will help.
It's also suspected that Alves will be the first big name to go with Old Trafford a rumoured destination, also talk they will fight it out with Madrid for Aguero. Likely to lose out their though as Madrid can offer Higuain plus cash.
Could be an.interesting summer in Spain.

That's it confirmed in a press conference at the Camp Nou just now that he wont be renewing.
Glad to be able to say that I've been to see Pep's Barca team at their peak
