Pep Guardiola has established himself as one of the greatest managers of all time across almost two decades of near-continuous success.
From his generation-defining Barcelona team, to his record-breaking Bayern Munich side and an all-conquering decade at Manchester City, the 55-year-old has won a hatful of trophies at every club he has managed.
But with Guardiola set to leave Manchester City this summer, talk has already turned to where he will go next. Here are the current frontrunners according to Betfair.
10. Liverpool (33/1)
City's battles with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool was the blockbuster rivalry of the Guardiola era, as the clubs finished in the Premier League top two in three out of four seasons between 2018 and 2022.
Reds manager Arne Slot is under pressure at Anfield despite delivering the club's 20th league title just 12 months ago, but Guardiola is unlikely to want another Premier League job so soon - especially at one of City's direct rivals.
9. Paris Saint-Germain (16/1)
There aren't many elite clubs in Europe in better shape than Paris Saint-Germain right now, with the French champions gearing up to defend their Champions League title against Arsenal in the final on May 30.
Manager Luis Enrique - a former Barca colleague of Guardiola as both a player and a coach - has built an incredible team packed with attacking quality and youthful exuberance in the French capital. The Spaniard is out of contract next summer, but he is reportedly set to sign a new four-year deal so it is unlikely that his job will be vacant any time soon.
8. Argentina (9/1)
The first of four international jobs on this list concerns world champions Argentina, whose manager Lionel Scaloni is out of contract after the 2026 World Cup.
Guardiola already has a great relationship with Albiceleste captain Lionel Messi from their time together at Barcelona, while he previously hinted at going into international management in an interview with Spanish chef Dani Garcia on his Desmontadito YouTube channel: "The thought of starting off somewhere else, with all the process of the training and so on... no, no, no! Maybe a national team but that's different."
7. Spain (15/2)
Another international job that could interest Guardiola is Spain, for whom he won 47 caps during his playing career.
However, that could be complicated by the former Barcelona manager's support of Catalan independence, having even spoken at a rally backing a referendum in the autonomous community.
6. Any MLS club (7/1)
If Guardiola stays in the domestic game, he may want to look beyond the whirlwind existence of European football that has consumed the past 18 years of his life.
He took a year's sabbatical in New York after leaving Barcelona in 2012 and he could be tempted to return to America to manage a club in the MLS, which boasts stars including Messi at David Beckham-owned Inter Miami.
5. Bayern Munich (11/2)
Guardiola won three Bundesliga titles and two DFB Pokals in his three seasons at Bayern but unlike at Barca and City, he fell short of winning the Champions League.
That could leave him feeling he has unfinished business in Bavaria, although Bayern boss Vincent Kompany - Guardiola's captain in his first three campaigns at the Etihad Stadium - has just claimed his second successive league title and is under contract until 2029.
4. Barcelona (5/1)
The club where it all began. Guardiola was appointed Barca boss in summer 2008 after a successful season managing Barcelona B and he swept all before him in four glorious campaigns.
Led by Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, Barca's tiki-taka style was simply irresistible and saw the club win three successive La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues. This would be the romantic choice, but would Guardiola risk tarnishing his legacy if he returned to Camp Nou?
3. Brazil (9/2)
Another romantic option for Guardiola would be Brazil, who remain the most successful team in World Cup history with five titles.
The City boss is said to have long been interested in managing the Selecao, yet he may have to wait some time as current boss Carlo Ancelotti last week extended his contract until the 2030 World Cup.
2. Italy (10/3)
The international job that arguably makes the most sense right now is Italy, who have great tradition but have failed to qualify for the past three World Cups.
There are several reasons to believe this could have legs: the Azzurri are currently without a permanent boss, Guardiola spent two years in the country towards the end of his playing career with Roma and Brescia, and the Italian FA reportedly approached the City manager's camp last month. Watch this space?
1. England (9/4)
Having spent the past 10 years coaching in England, you could argue that managing the Three Lions would be a logical next step for Guardiola.
He was linked with the role last summer before Thomas Tuchel was unveiled, and while the German is under contract until Euro 2028, Guardiola may be happy to take a two-year sabbatical if he knows the job is waiting for him.
