Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Manchester City will be the final club job of his managerial career.
Guardiola has enjoyed eight-and-a-half glittering years in charge at the Etihad, leading City to six Premier League titles and numerous other trophies.
The Spaniard is currently in the midst of his toughest period of his tenure, with City having won just one of their last eight games in all competitions.
However, Guardiola penned a new deal until 2027 last month, which will take his time with the four-in-a-row Premier League champions past a decade.
And, speaking in an exclusive interview with Spanish chef Dani Garcia, Guardiola provided a major update on his future and revealed he will not lead any other teams in the future once he leaves City.
‘I’m not going to manage another team,’ he 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.
I should stop, like these chefs that go to other countries, stop and see what we’ve done well and what we could do better and when you’re busy all day, day after day you don’t have time to do that.
‘I want to leave it and go and play golf but I can’t. I think stopping would do me good.
Guardiola went onto open up to Garcia about his plans when he does eventually retire from coaching.
He said: ‘I’m still young and when I stop, there’s several things I want to do.
‘One of them is to learn French, dedicate my free time to myself so I can play golf and then begin to learn how to cook simple things.
