New Delhi, Dec 10 (NationPress) Pep Guardiola, who recently renewed his contract with Manchester City in November, has declared that his time in Manchester will be his final managerial role as a club head coach.“I want to leave it and go and play golf but I can’t. A time will come when I feel it’s enough and I’ll definitely stop then. I’m not going to manage another team. I’m not talking about the long-term future but what I’m not going to do is leave Manchester City and go to another country to do the same thing as I am now,” Guardiola stated during an interview on Desmontadito's YouTube channel.
The Catalan’s new agreement means he will spend over a decade at the helm of City. Guardiola’s era at City is marked by remarkable success. He has won a total of 18 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League.
As one of the most successful coaches in football history, Guardiola confirmed his desire to coach a national team in the future. Recently, he was a candidate for the England head coach position before the role was awarded to Thomas Tuchel.
“I wouldn’t have the energy to do so. I’m still here doing what I am today. But 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,” he added.
Guardiola has faced significant pressure since signing his new contract, especially as Manchester City has encountered its most challenging period under his leadership. The team has struggled to secure victories in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, resulting in their drop to fourth and 17th place in the respective standings.
“I should stop, like these chefs that go to other countries, stop and see what we’ve done well and what we could do better and when you’re busy all day day after day you don’t have time to do that. I think stopping would do me good,” he concluded.
