by Pep Guardiola has repeated his plan to take a break from football when he ended his time in Manchester City and suggested that it could take several years.
The 54 -year -old Guardiola has been in the city since 2016, but during the form of last season he ended speculation about his immediate future by signing a new contract until 2027.

The Katalaner later expressed an interest in the administration of international football in his career, but insisted that he will take a break before any other role.
When Guardiola said in an interview with GQ Spain: “I know that after this phase I will stop with City, that’s certain. It is more than decided.
“I don’t know how long I will stay for a year, two years, three, five, 10, 15. But I will go with City after this spell because I have to concentrate on myself.”
At the beginning of his coaching career, Guardiola took a one -year break after leaving Barcelona and taking responsibility in Bavaria Munich.

Last season, City’s first without a trophy has been a disappointing end as a run of four Premier League titles – and six in seven seasons when City fought for a place in the Champions League before taking third place.
Guardiola said that afterwards it was easy to say that the city should have refreshed an aging group faster, a process that started in January and this summer with the commitments of Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Sverre Nypan-Mit James Trapd, with James Shrarpord.

But when he was asked how he felt as a “failure” about City’s campaign, Guardiola said: “I am very happy to have failed.

“I love failures. In this society where everything has to be perfect where you have to post your food on Instagram …” Oh, how good, how happy I am. “Every day we have to prove that we are happy. Well, yes, I’m sad, I fail and I lose.
“Name someone who doesn’t do it. The most important thing is to give everything and do it well. And I didn’t give it up … I’ll do it better next year. That’s what it’s about.”
