Pep Guardiola Rubbishes Claims on Leaving Manchester City to Coach England National Side

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has openly revealed that he does not intend to leave Manchester City to coach the England national football team. Pep said that he is not done with City FC and is yet to think about his future. He also said that the reports of him becoming the next England coach are false. However, he also pointed out that anything could happen, which indicates a never-say-never notion from the manager.

"I haven't finished my career at Manchester City yet, I still have to think about [my future]...It's not true that I'll be the England coach. I haven't decided anything yet, if I had decided my future at Manchester City I would say so, anything can happen in life," Pep Guardiola said.

Pep Guardiola is regarded as one of the finest football managers, and his illustrious career speaks for itself. He reached the pinnacle of success when he was a part of FC Barcelona, where he won multiple La Liga titles, two UCL titles and two UEFA Super Cups. His move to Bayern Munich in Germany also saw unmatched success as he helped the side win a FIFA Club World Cup and three back-to-back Bundesliga titles.

The Spanish football manager was one of the top contenders for the job since he was well versed in the English conditions due to his ongoing association with Manchester City FC. While Lee Carsely manages the English National Football side on an interim basis, Guardiola's future in City FC is also murky. But his focus remains on the EPL side.
