The Catalan coach has revealed what he plans to do once he leaves Manchester City.
TS Eliot said that the world may not end with a bang, but with a whimper. City's could end in relegation. And now, to make the situation in the north-west of England even more nervous, Pep Guardiola, the manager who ensured they had both hands on the trophies and not just a tentative finger of hope, has spoken of leaving the club.
The Catalan coach appeared on the Desmontadito podcast, hosted by Dani García, where he was asked about his plans for the future, where he spoke openly about life after City.
What did Pep Guardiola say about managing a team after Manchester City?
“I'm not going to manage another team (after Manchester City). “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 I'm doing now,” he said.
“I just wouldn't have the energy for it. The idea of starting somewhere else, the whole training process and so on… No, no, no! No, no, no! Maybe in a national team, but that's different.”
When he retired, Guardiola said he would retire now if he could: “I would leave (football) and play golf, but I can't. There comes a time when I feel like enough is enough and then I stop for good.” However, it doesn't seem like that time is now.
Currently, City have fallen behind in the Premier League title race after a string of results left Liverpool at the top of the table. In all competitions they won just 1 in 9 games, including damaging defeats to Bournemouth, Sporting CP and the aforementioned Liverpool.
