Who gets Pep Guardiola's seat?

It seems ever since Pep Guardiola was given the vacated seat behind the Barcelona bench from departing Coach Frank Ryjkaard that, whether it has been the FC Barcelona, or the Madrid media, or even Pep himself, someone or another has been predicting who would take over from the ex-Barcelona captain as the next in a long-line of superstar coaches to man the blaugrana sidelines: Helenio Herrera, Kubala, Rinus Michels, Cesar Luis Menotti, Terry Venables, Luis Aragones, Johan Cruyff, Carles Rexach, Bobby Robson, and Louis Van Gaal. A long list of former players, coaches, superstars all.

Guardiola was not the first choice. There was pressure from many outside of Joan Laporta to bring in an outsider with no ties to Cruyff and his Ajax school principles. Could it have been Jose Mourinho as rumored? Hard to think of that happening today, but it was more than an option. Instead they brought in Pep and his magic sweater-vest. He got a make-over and some much needed shaving utensils, but the club stuck to its hard-won principles.

Do we dare consider him walking away from FC Barcelona if they win it all. He has said he doesn't have his heart in it like some of his contemporaries. He refuses to sign more than a one-year contract and he has entertained the idea of coaching in other leagues, under different management, and with a different philosophy of play. Does he leave for England where the money is better or Italy where he played? Does he walk away to another phase of his life away from football?

Better yet, what do Barcelona do? The club have said that they have a plan in place, in case the unexpected happens, with Barcelona "B" coach Luis Enrique as one of the many options, I'll hold my thoughts, but what would you do?
