Pep Guardiola's Final Club: Manchester City Manager Confirmed

Pep Guardiola, who recently signed a contract extension with Manchester City in November, has announced that his time in Manchester will mark the end of his career as a club head coach. “I want to retire and play golf, but I can't just yet. There will come a time when I feel I've done enough, and that's when I'll call it quits. I have no plans to manage another team. My focus is on Manchester City, and I have no intentions of moving to another country to continue coaching," Guardiola shared on Desmontadito's YouTube channel. With his new contract, Guardiola is set to surpass a decade as the City manager. Under his leadership, the club has been tremendously successful, winning 18 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League.

One of the most successful coaches in football history, Guardiola went on to confirm his interest in coaching a national team. The 53-year-old was recently linked to the England head coach role before the job was offered to Thomas Tuchel.

“I wouldn't have the energy to do so. I'm still here doing what I am today. But the thought of starting off somewhere else, with all the process of the training and so on... no, no, no! Maybe a national team but that's different,” he added.

Guardiola has been under immense pressure since signing his new contract after Manchester City has gone through the worst period under his tenure. The team has struggled to win in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League which has seen the team fall down to fourth and 17th in the respective tables.

“I should stop, like these chefs that go to other countries, stop and see what we've done well and what we could do better and when you're busy all day day after day you don't have time to do that. I think stopping would do me good,'' he concluded.
