Pep Guardiola reveals he could quit Man City in future to move to Serie A

The Spanish coach led City to the title last season is contracted at the Etihad until 2021.


Guardiola, 47, led Barcelona to unprecedented success and won everything at Bayern Munich with just the Champions League eluding him during his three years in Germany.

And if Pep remains at City until the end of his current contract, it will take him to five years in Manchester, his longest stint at any club he’s managed.

The City boss was speaking at the Festival dello Sport in Italy and suggested his next destination could be Serie A.

He said: “A bench in Italy? Why not.


"I would never have said that I would go to Germany and that I would learn German. Here you eat well."

Guardiola was asked how Italian football can improve and he defended the Azzuri's recent history in international and domestic football.

He added: "What is lacking in Italian football to make a leap forward in terms of mentality?

“Nothing is missing, history is not written in the last two years, Italy remains what it is.

"It is important to reflect on why we did not go to the last World Cup, but we all have to learn from Italy, which has always won and in many ways.

“Defending well is a talent and you are masters. Life is this, we win and lose, but I am convinced that in Italy there are very good players and they can do very well."

The champions, top of the table on goal difference ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool return to action on Saturday after the international break at home to Burnley.
