Guardiola to quit Man City in 2023, eyes national team job

Pep Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said on Wednesday he plans to leave the English champions when his current contract ends in 2023 and hopes to take charge of a national team.

"After seven years in this team, I think I'll take a break," said Guardiola, 50. "I'll need to see what we've done and assess motivations for the future. And in this process I'd like to coach a national team: South American, European...I want to have the experience of a Copa America."

However, Guardiola is not banking on that national team being Brazil. "A national team will be the next step, yes," said Guardiola. "I think the Brazil coach will always be a Brazilian, I can't see a foreigner coaching a team like Brazil."
