Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, 53, now wants a career in the national team.

"Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola wants a career in the national team before retirement," the U.S. "ESPN" said on the 22nd.

Guardiola, who appeared on the professional stage in 2008 while taking the helm of FC Barcelona, has lifted 37 trophies by leading Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, starting with six gold medals in the 2008-2009 season.

During this period, Guardiola has accumulated numerous achievements, including three consecutive Premier League victories and Manchester City's first treble.

Although Guardiola is regarded as one of the best coaches in soccer history, he was still hungry. He reportedly wants a career trophy for the national team.

The media said, "Guardiola wants to be a national team coach for major tournaments. His contract with Manchester City expires in 2025. He is not ruling out an extension of his contract."

ESPN reported, "In the past, he has been linked to Brazil, England and the U.S. national teams and now said he wants to lead them in tournaments such as the World Cup, the Euro and Copa America before his managerial career ends."

When asked what kind of goal the Brazilian version of ESPN wanted from him, Guardiola replied, "National team." When asked what kind of national team he was, he replied, "I don't know who would want me."

According to reports, Guardiola said, "To work for the national team, the country has to want me. It's the same as the club team."

Guardiola has already lifted trophies in Spain, Germany and England, and won three UEFA Champions League titles. However, he said he has yet to set specific goals for the World Cup, Euro and Copa America.  토토사이트

Guardiola said, "I never thought about it that way. Even when I started this job, I didn't think about winning the league or the Champions League. I just have to do what I'm given," adding, "I want to experience the World Cup, the Euro and the Copa. I don't know when it will be in five, 10 or 15 years, but I really want to experience the World Cup as a coach."
