Pep Guardiola Declares Manchester City as His Final Club Management Role

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that his current position as manager of Manchester City will be his last role in club football. Speaking in a recent interview, Guardiola said, "When I leave City, I won't manage another club. I no longer have the energy to start anew elsewhere."

Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City runs until 2027, giving him the opportunity to further solidify his legacy at the club. Reflecting on the future, he mentioned his interest in coaching a national team, as it offers a different pace compared to the day-to-day demands of club management. "Maybe I’ll manage a national team next or retire to play golf," Guardiola added with a smile.

During his tenure at Manchester City, which began in 2016, Guardiola has achieved remarkable success, including winning multiple Premier League titles and leading the team to their first-ever Champions League victory. Despite the immense pressure of managing at the highest level, Guardiola has remained dedicated to his role, though he hinted at eventually stepping back to focus on other pursuits.

As he continues to guide City through another challenging season, Guardiola's statement has sparked conversations about his eventual departure and the legacy he will leave behind in club football.
