Guardiola: I Quit Bayern For A Chance To Manage In The EPL

Guardiola has revealed he decided to leave Bayern Munich, for a chance to manage in the EPL.

It is rumoured that Manchester City are most inclined to get the hotshot manager, who is Chief in their transfer plans.

But, the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and United are also interested in the Spaniard and Guardiola is yet to decide.

“The reason I have not extended my contract is simple. I want to manage in the Premier League,” said Guardiola.

“I haven’t decided on a new club yet.

“I’m very happy and grateful to Bayern for the trust they’ve shown in me but I need a new challenge.

“I have an opportunity to work in England. I think I’m at the right age and I feel it is the right move for me.”

Carlo Ancelotti has already been appointed as Guardiola’s successor and the Spaniard insists his side will remain a success under the Italian.

“Coaches come and go but I think Carlo Ancelotti is a perfect choice to take over and I wish him the very best,” said Guardiola.

“The squad won trophies under Heyckes and for me too. They’ll be successful with Ancelotti in charge as well.”
