In a recent interview with Spanish chef Dani Garcia, Pep Guardiola dropped a bombshell by announcing that his current role at Manchester City will be his last as a club manager.
The news comes as a surprise to many fans and pundits, considering Guardiola’s immense success at City over the past eight-and-a-half years. With six Premier League titles and numerous other accolades under his belt, the Spanish tactician has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest managers in football history.
Despite facing a challenging period with City’s recent dip in form, Guardiola signed a contract extension until 2027 last month, ensuring that he will continue to lead the reigning Premier League champions for the foreseeable future.
During the interview, Guardiola made it clear that he has no intentions of taking on another club after his time at City comes to an end. “I’m not going to manage another team,” he stated. “I want to step back and enjoy playing golf, but I can’t. I believe taking a break would benefit me.”
Looking ahead to his retirement from coaching, Guardiola shared his aspirations for the future. “One of them is to learn French, use my free time for myself to play golf, and start mastering simple cooking techniques,” he revealed.
Despite City’s recent struggles in the title race, Guardiola remains focused on the task at hand. With his track record of success and innovative approach to the game, he has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on English football.
As City prepares to face Juventus in the Champions League Group Stage, Guardiola’s legacy at the club is set to continue, with fans eagerly awaiting what the future holds for the iconic manager.
