Six-time English Premier League winner and Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has started discussing his future plans, despite recently extending his contract with the club. Guardiola, who is currently enduring his toughest Premier League campaign since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, revealed he may not manage another club after Manchester City but has expressed interest in coaching a national team.
Speaking about his career trajectory, Guardiola told reporters:
“I’m not going to manage another team. 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, but that’s different.”

Reports from the BBC suggest that Guardiola has been approached to potentially manage England’s men’s national team. While there has been no confirmation of formal discussions, such a move would mark a significant chapter in Guardiola’s illustrious managerial career.
Guardiola’s coaching legacy
Guardiola is widely regarded as one of the greatest football managers in history, having achieved unprecedented success with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City. His trophy cabinet includes numerous league titles, domestic cups, and UEFA Champions League victories.
However, this season has been particularly challenging for the Spaniard. Manchester City has secured just one win in their last nine matches across all competitions, marking Guardiola’s toughest run since his arrival in 2016.
Off-Pitch challenges for Manchester City
Adding to the on-field struggles, Manchester City faces a potential crisis off the pitch. The club is under investigation for 115 charges of financial irregularities, which, if proven, could lead to severe consequences such as points deduction, suspension, or even expulsion from the Premier League.
Despite the current challenges, Guardiola’s managerial expertise and influence remain unquestioned. Whether he transitions to a national team or continues his club management career, his next move will undoubtedly be closely watched.
