During his press conference this morning, he said he thinks it's the right time for Bayern to have a new coach and for him to move to England. There's more to it but I'm just piecing it together from several twitter sources.


He said he has multiple concrete offers in the Premier League but he has not accepted any job yet.


Still seems like Man City will be the front runner because of Txiki.

He might gut that squad. But they have the cash to spend. The front four would be fine, but after that can't see any of those guys being a good fit for his system

Pretty much anywhere he goes will see some player overhaul. City, United, Chelsea.

He could be turned off by United b/c they might be reluctant to spend big again, after two years of doing so.

He's taking over for Arsenal after Wenger rides off into the sunset with a league title.

This is my 7th year following club soccer, and I am still confounded by the manager carousel. I just don't get it. Maybe I am too ingrained in American sports, but I can't imagine a coach that is in the middle of the season talking about moving on to another club. Also, the way coaches just leave or are fired in the middle of successful campaigns makes no sense to me either.

Maybe I should appreciate how candid people are. It might make me less nervous about Sean Payton if he was as open as a soccer manager.

Everyone but the English media seems to be confident it's a done deal. I hope they're right.
