Manchester City coach and football extraordinaire Pep Guardiola recently voiced his outlook for the future and his dissatisfaction with club-level football.
The eight-time Premier League and four-time Champions League-winning mastermind disclosed how he sees the end of the road for his club coaching career.
“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, go to another country, and do the same thing as now,” he shared.
The 54-year-old tactician, a product of La Masia, also shared his intentions of foraying into international coaching where several countries showed interest — notably England last summer, an offer that Guardiola had to rebuff.
“I wouldn’t have the energy. The thought of starting somewhere else, all the process of training and so on. No, no, no. Maybe a national team, but that’s different. I want to leave it and go and play golf, but I can’t [if he takes a club job]. I think stopping would do me good.”
“Right now we are not in the position – when we have had the results of the last seven, eight games – to talk about winning games in [the] plural. We have to win the game and not look at what happens in the next one yet.”
It can be remembered that the Spaniard extended his contract with City until 2027 and it seems he has put all his focus on it for now — digging the club out of its precarious slump. The English champions are struggling with only one win in their last nine games.
They are set to meet Juventus next for a Champions League showdown and will go back to England to face their club rival Manchester United on December 15.
City is facing one of its most challenging seasons in close to a decade — with 130 charges against them being investigated by the Premier League.
