In recent weeks it was confirmed that Pep Guardiola would extend his stay at Manchester City. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach signed a new one-year contract with the current Premier League champions, which will see him through to the end of next season; You also have the option to stay for another 12 months, if you choose. to do it.
Guardiola has been with Man City since 2016, which makes it comfortably the longest spell he has had at one club in his coaching career. It turns out that it will be the last in club football, as confirmed in an interview on the “Desmontadito” podcast, according to Diario AS.
“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 and do the same thing as now. I wouldn’t have the energy… The idea of starting somewhere else, the whole training process and so on… No, no, no! Maybe in a selection, but that’s different.
“There will come a time when I feel like enough is enough and then I will definitely quit.”
It means Guardiola could manage Spain in the future, although he pours cold water on any prospect of him having a second spell in the Barcelona dugout.
