The team that Guardiola would coach after Manchester City, and it is not FC Barcelona

The upcoming season is quickly approaching, and Pep Guardiola is starting to prepare his Manchester City team for the preseason. Guardiola wants to win another Premier League trophy after winning four in a row. Man City fans are happy to see the Spanish coach still in charge, but next season could be his last since his contract expires in the summer of 2025.

Guardiola may not renew his contract as he may be after another job that has now become available. Many football fans expect him to return to FC Barcelona since it is his club that has been special to him for many years after he played for them and coached them. Barcelona currently has Hansi Flick, and the move seems impossible.

Miguel Delaney from the Independent reports that The FA wants to appoint Pep Guardiola and is willing to wait for the Spaniard with his Man City contract ending in 2025. That means they could appoint an interim England manager to replace Gareth Southgate. England announced that Southgate will not continue as the head coach of the English national team after they lost 2-1 to Spain in the European Championship final this past weekend.

Guardiola has never coached a national team in his career so far as he coached FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and is currently at Man City. Man City has been the club that Guardiola has coached for the longest time, even ahead of Barcelona, which is the club he played for and found lots of success in the Champions League.

Guardiola has coached a total of 472 games at Man City with a 2.34 points per game ratio. The record he has at Manchester City is a total of 349 wins, 57 draws, and 66 losses. He has won six Premier Leagues with the club and could end his career there with seven if he wins it the upcoming season.
