Pep Guardiola has made a startling revelation, announcing that he will not manage another club after his tenure with Manchester City. The Spaniard, who has led the club for eight-and-a-half years, has enjoyed unprecedented success, securing six Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League trophy, and numerous other honors during his time in charge.
Currently, Guardiola is navigating his most challenging period as City’s manager. The team has won just one of their last eight games across all competitions, marking the first time in his managerial career that Guardiola has endured five consecutive defeats. Despite the tough spell, Guardiola recently extended his contract until 2027, ensuring his association with the reigning Premier League champions will surpass a decade.
In an exclusive conversation with Spanish chef Dani Garcia, Guardiola provided a significant update on his managerial future. He unequivocally stated that he would not take charge of another club after leaving Manchester City. “I’m not going to manage another team,” Guardiola said. “I’m not talking about the long-term future, but what I’m not going to do is leave Man 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.”
Guardiola also reflected on his post-management life, expressing a desire to take a break from football altogether. “I want to leave it and go and play golf, but I can’t. I think stopping would do me good,” he added.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s grip on the Premier League title race continues to weaken. On Saturday, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace, further widening the gap to league leaders and intensifying concerns about their recent form.
Despite their domestic struggles, Guardiola and his team remain focused on the Champions League. On Wednesday, City will travel to Turin to face Juventus in a crucial group-stage clash. Guardiola will be determined to reverse the team’s fortunes and build momentum as the season progresses.
As Guardiola’s future takes shape, his legacy at Manchester City and his decision to avoid managing another club will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the football world. For now, his focus remains on steering City back to their winning ways.
