Pep Guardiola apparently still has a dream: He wants to be the national coach. Club football should be over in two years.
Coach Pep Guardiola does not want to extend his contract with English football champions Manchester City, which expires in 2023, and instead wants to take over a national team. “After seven years with this team, I think I’ll make a cut,” said the 50-year-old Catalan on Wednesday, according to media reports, at an event organized by the Brazilian financial services company XP Investimentos. “I will have to take a break and look back on what has been achieved.” He would then like to coach the selection of a South American or European country: “I want to experience this,” said Guardiola, who has led the Citizens to three Premier League championships since 2016.
Achieved everything as a club coach
After his successful time at FC Barcelona, Guardiola took a one-year hiatus from 2012 to 2013 before finally joining FC Bayern Munich for three years. He has now achieved everything in club football – first as a player, then as a coach. With Barça in his early years as head coach, he won three championships and twice the Spanish Cup, the Champions League and the Fia Club World Cup. In Munich he won three German championships with FC Bayern between 2013 and 2016, won the DFB Cup twice and won the Club World Cup again. At ManCity, he became the first coach in England to win all national titles in a single season in 2019.
