Guardiola reluctant to manage another team in England

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes he can no longer coach another team in England after a stint at Manchester City.

Guardiola has led

since the start of the 2016-17 season, winning three Premier League titles, one

and four EFL Cups, leading them to last season's European runners-up title. Guardiola's contract with City runs until 2023 and his stay in Manchester may end this year. There is talk of him at the national level, and now the Spanish coach has announced his unwillingness to coach another team in

.

"I've said many times when we've finished our part here, for the pleasure to live in a European Championship, a World Cup, I would like to live it but I know it is not easy to find it because normally there are few positions,"

Guardiola told reporters.

"I think it is difficult for it to happen. I would like it but, at the same time, if it does not happen I will train a club. That is not a problem.

"In England, being here, I think I will always be at Man City. If I had to come back I would come back to Man City, if they want me. I don't think I am going to train another club in England. I'm a part of this club."

Some reports suggest that Pep will take charge of the England national team after his contract at Manchester City expires. The Spanish coach added: 

"Gareth has done an incredible job, reaching the final of the Euros and the semi-finals of the last World Cup.

"This is a huge success for English football. He has extended his contract and what I want is after that [for him] to extend for more years, if he is happy to do it.

"I am not here to take anyone's position. It is not my target. As long as it is possible to be here, as much as my energy is there and my love for what I am doing is here, [I will be]. After that I don't know what is going to happen."
