Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager is looking at taking a break after his exit from the Premier League.

His contract with the club expires in 2023 and he is looking at rejuvenating before taking his ambition higher to international football.

On Wednesday, the Spaniard said his dream is a national team which is a possibility.

“The next step will be a national team, if there is a possibility,” Guardiola told Spanish daily Marca.

He adds that after a seven-year tenure at Manchester City, it calls for rest and moments of reflection.

Pep Guardiola Future Plans

“After seven years at this club, I think I’m going to have a break. I will need to rest after being somewhere so many years and also stop to evaluate what we’ve done and to try to learn from other coaches.

He says that after his exit from City, he is ready to take up an opportunity to coach a national team. Guardiola is open to offering his expertise at the Copa America or European Championship.

National Team Coach

“I’d like to coach at a European Championship or Copa America or World Cup. I’d like to experience that,” he maintains.

His track record with City is laudable; he steered the team to clinching three league titles.

His previous clubs, Bayern Munich and Barcelona emerged top of the Champions League during his tenure.

He scooped two Champions Leagues trophies while at Barcelona.

Before he retired from football, he played as a midfielder for Barcelona with a record of scoring five goals in 47 Spanish internationals.

Harry Kane Flopped Move To Manchester City

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s Harry Kane’s bid to join Manchester City this summer hit a snag.

Kane will stay with Tottenham until the summer fall following a flopped move to Manchester City.

He requested Spurs to make arrangements for a possible transfer to Manchester City but the negotiations took too long.

This has now forced him to eat a humble pie and stay with Spurs for the rest of the summer.

Kane in a statement on his Twitter handle Wednesday said that he feels well-received at Spurs.

“It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday and to read some of the messages of support I’ve had in the last few weeks,” he said.

“I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success.”

Daniel Levy, Tottenham chairman was steering the transfer deal negotiations with City.

The summer transfer window is about to close in a few days.

Manchester City had its eyes on Kane for the summer but negotiations hurdled any conclusive deal between the former and Spurs.

Kane returned to the pitch on Sunday in Tottenham’s game at Wolves. It was his Premier League match for the pre-season after being benched.

The Spurs striker has always wanted to return home after the Euro 2020. He hoped that he would this summer but he now contends with playing for the spurs until summer ends.

Kane has three more years at Tottenham which values him at highs of £120m and wants to keep him at all costs.

Rumour has it that Kane agreed with Levy to make a show for Manchester City this summer but it all hit a brick wall.

In June, City offered a £100 million transfer deal for Kane but Tottenham remained adamant on the figure.

This stretched negotiations between the two clubs, eventually failing to strike the common ground.
