Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has stated that he will not take a new job immediately after his enchantment ends at Etihad. Guardiola has been in charge of northern England for nine years, but acknowledged that he needed a break.
Guardiola took the course in 2016 and will complete a decade in the track at the end of the coming season. The 54-year-old has won six best competitions, a success rate of 67%, and has managed 533 competitions, and has two years left over his deal. Speaking with GQ Hype, as quoted by MD, Guardiola said the decision to take a sabbatical was then taken.
“I know that after this phase I am going to stop the city, that is certain, it is decided, more than decided. I will leave with the city after this phase, because I have to stop and concentrate on myself, on my body.”
Guardiola has previously taken a sabbatical between his jobs in Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the 2012-2013 season.
“I think I knew how to stop at the right time. The same thing happened to my coaching job [at Barça]There came a time when I said enough, enough is enough. I'm looking for a new challenge. “
With the explosion of Lamine Yamal at such a young age, and little as it has been seen earlier, his position and circumstances have led to comparisons with the large Lionel Messi. Guardiola believed those comparisons premature.
“I think Lamine Yamal should be allowed his career. And when he has been playing for fifteen years, we will decide whether he is better or worse. Let him pursue his career. The fact that they compare him with Messi is a big problem. It's like comparing a painter with Van Gogh. They will say” wow, he's not bad, “that's good,” that's good, “that's good,” that's good, “that's good,” that's. “.
“That is 90 goals in one season, more than 15 years, non -stop, without injury. That is a big problem. Leave him alone. Leave him alone.”
Guardiola also rejected the idea of returning to Barcelona. Although he has always stated that he will not return as a manager, there has been some suggestion that he could return as a president or sports director, something that he also shown away.
“It's over. It is over forever. It was really beautiful, but it is now over. No, I wasn't cut for that [to be president]. “
