Guardiola Rules Out Managing Another Club After Man City
Pep Guardiola says he will not manage another club side when he leaves Manchester City but is open to a national team role.
Guardiola is widely regarded as the greatest manager of his generation, having won multiple titles with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
The 53-year-old is into his ninth season with Manchester City and recently extended his contract until the summer of 2027 despite links to the England national team job.
"I'm not going to manage another team," Guardiola told Andalusian chef Dani Garcia in an interview on YouTube this week.
"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.
"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," the Spaniard suggested, "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."
