Pep Guardiola has said Manchester City will be his final managerial job in club football before he “maybe” coaches a national team.
Guardiola has won 15 major trophies since taking charge of City in 2016.
The 53-year-old Spaniard was approached in the summer about the possibility of becoming England manager, but last month signed a two-year contract extension with City until 2027.
Speaking to celebrity chef Dani Garcia on YouTube (BBC Spor), Guardiola did not indicate when he intends to step down at City but said he would not return to club football – in the Premier League or overseas.
“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 Manchester 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 want to leave it and go and play golf, but I can’t [if he takes a club job]. I think stopping would do me good.”
