Guardiola reveals the bench he dreams of

Pep Guardiola will not coach a Premier League team other than the Manchester City and he wants to stay with the Etihad club as long as possible, according to the 50-year-old coach himself. Pep, whose contract expires in 2023, took over at City in 2016 and has led the team to three league titles and the FA Cup. In addition, he said he would like to lead a national team in a World Cup one day.

When asked if he would consider coaching the England national team, Guardiola praised Gareth Southgate for his work with the Three Lions. “I would love to, I have already said once that when I finish here I would like to lead a team in a World Cup. But it is not easy to find it. There are few positions,” Guardiola told the British media this Saturday.

Aware that it will not be a breeze, he clarifies that “I would like to, but if it doesn’t happen, I will train clubs, so it won’t be a problem. But in England, being here, I think I will always be at Manchester City and if I have to go back it would be to City, if they want me. I would not coach another club in England apart from this club. “

Guardiola congratulated England coach Gareth Southgate on signing a new contract and said he is not worried about “coaching any team”. “I want to be here (at City) as long as possible, as long as my energy and my love are here. After that I don’t know what will happen,” he said.
