Pep Guardiola's ten-year era at Manchester City recently ended and the Catalan coach admits that at this point he is far from even considering returning to football.
There was talk that he was a candidate to become the coach of Italy, now he is being linked with England again, but Guardiola doesn't seem to be thinking about returning to the bench anytime soon.
"I started coaching at the age of 37 and my whole life has been tied to football. Now I want to discover life outside of football, to be happy doing things that have nothing to do with this sport," said Guardiola.
He started his career at Barcelona, then managed Bayern Munich before arriving at the Etihad in 2016.
"I love my job, but there comes a moment when you feel like you have to stop. Maybe one day I'll wake up and say, 'Okay, I want to train again.' But that desire has to come from within me, and today I just don't have it," Guardiola added.
Now family comes first.
"I'm trying to figure out what my life will look like in the future. I decided to stop because I need to take care of myself a little. I want to spend more time with my children and with my father, who is 95 years old and is still with us. I'm 56 years old, I'm not young anymore and my outlook on life is changing. I'm still getting used to this new phase, but everything is going very well," Guardiola said.
So, whoever wants Guardiola will have to wait.
