Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola has won practically everything there is to win as a manager in club soccer. This is why it doesn’t come as a surprise that Guardiola would also like to have his shot at the international stage.
Speaking with ESPN Brasil, Guardiola said that he wants to coach a national team before he wraps up his managerial career.
“I would like to train a national team for a World Cup or a European Championship. I would like that,” Guardiola said when asked what’s there left for him to achieve.
Guardiola added that he doesn’t know when he might decide to pursue a national team job and that he wouldn’t do it for the sole purpose of winning the trophy but to live through the experience of managing a team at the World Cup.
“I don’t know when that would be, if that is five, 10, 15 years from now, but I would like to have the experience of being a manager in a World Cup,” he added.
Pep Guardiola has won a total of 37 trophies during his time managing Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City. Despite being linked with various national jobs in the past, he is unlikely to leave club football anytime soon, considering his contract with Man City runs until the summer of 2026.
