Managering in Germany is equivalent of a top NFL coach coaching in the Canadian Football League.

Ferdinand,RVP,Scholes,Giggs, Valencia,Evra,Vidic etc etc Ferdinand coming to the end granted will need replacing RVP is 29 - at his prime Scholes & Giggs - bit part players now Valencia is 27 Evra - i would say he is a liability and when Utd replace him they will be stronger. Vidic is 31 - has hardly played over the last 12 months but if he gets fit will have another two years at least in him. |

in other words mw,the squad there is currently an almost perfect balance of youth and experience?

By:
it wasn't the fact that they won the cl[a knock out comp] that made them the managers they are. those merits were achieved in domestic comps.
they were all judged on what they did domestically [with the possible exception of mourinho[ long before they won the cl. |

Can't really say it is a 'soft option' without knowing what Bayern are expecting him to do.
They might be expecting 3 European Cups in a row like the 1970s for all we know . Certainly there is a widespread view that he was the 2nd biggest factor after Messi in making Barcelona the best team anyone can remember . So maybe Bayern will expect him to get them near that level , which will be very difficult indeed. Interesting to see how he does. Quite a few managers strike gold with the circumstances of their 1st jobs (Dalglish,Rijkaard) , build incredible teams , but then when you look back years later you wonder whether they were just in the right place at the right time as they struggle in several subsequent jobs. If Vilanova can win the CL this year in the style of 2009/11 then Guardiola's cachet will be diminishing somewhat already, as people will say it was all about the players all along. |
