Pep Guardiola Confirms Commitment to Manchester City, Dismisses Possibility of Departure

Pep Guardiola stated in a recent interview that he would not be taking on another club after leaving Manchester City. He did, however, leave open the possibility of coaching a national team in the future. In a conversation with Spanish celebrity chef Dani Garcia, which was posted on YouTube, Guardiola expressed his contentment with his time at Man City and his decision to not pursue another team. Guardiola made it clear that while he is not ruling out coaching a national team, he has no plans to leave his current position to go to another country and do the same thing all over again.

"I wouldn't have the energy. The thought of starting somewhere else, all the training and so on. No, no, no! Maybe a national team, but that's different.

"I want to leave it and go and play golf but I can't. I think stopping would do me good."

Guardiola has previously expressed an interest in coaching at international level later in his career.

"That's different. It's not (training) every day, (playing) every three days," he said. "To rest, to see what we have done, what we can do better, because day-to-day we don't have much time to rest."

In a conversation that included his taste in food and his philosophy of life,  Guardiola told Garcia that from the start of the career he had looked to one day having time to study French, play golf and learn to cook.
