Pep Guardiola Clarifies Comments On Retirement

Pep Guardiola has clarified his comments regarding retirement early last week following his side’s 2-1 win over Burnely.

He was earlier quoted as saying he would see out his three year contract at Manchester City after which he would consider retirement but he has now said his comments were wrongly taken.

“Maybe it was inappropriate to say I’m starting to say goodbye to my career.

“I’m not thinking that I’m going to retire.” Guardiola said

“I said in the interview that I won’t be a trainer when I’m 60. But I’m 45. I’m not going to retire in two or three years,” he continued.

“I’m not going to train at 60 because I want to do something else in my life.

“I started playing football young and my career was on the pitch. I want to do something else in my life, but in the next three or four or five or six or seven years.

“I love my job and I’m in the perfect place to do my job especially here in England.”
