Maybe he got a heads up on the financial fair play penalties coming down.

I can see him taking a year or two off depending on what Spain does this summer and what their federation decides to do afterwards. doubt he manages in England or Spain again unless it’s a smaller Catalonian club

Absolutely. He finally got back with his wife and I can see him taking some time away.

He won't manage Spain with his deep rooted Catalian independence ties

I honestly have no idea what he does if he decides to manage again. I could see him doing a national side because the intensity is so much lower but at the same time I think his system and tactics would t work with a national squad.

He's 55 and arguably the GOAT. I honestly could see this being it for him. Might go into an FB ops role but I just don't see him jumping back in anytime soon.

For better or worse they were always gonna lean on someone with ties to the club and/or Pep. Honestly thought it'd be Arteta before he got the arsenal job. Enrique isn't available. Wouldn't mind Emery TBH.

Kompany keeps popping up but I don't want him to follow Pep. Maresca or whoever is gonna have sky high expectations. Hopefully Khaldoon stays patient. Vinnie is an absolute club legend and I don't want to taint that. In a couple years? Sure. We need some time to breathe and realize that we're in a post-Pep timeline though.

True. More specifically managerial ties though.

He probably saw that Austin FC just fired their coach and wanted a challenge.
