Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has revealed he wants to manage an English Premier League team in his first press conference since announcing he will leave the Bundesliga giants at the end of the season.

“I want to coach in England,” said the Spaniard on Tuesday, before adding that he “has no new club yet”.

Guardiola’s departure at the end of his third season in Bavaria and his replacement by Italian Carlo Ancelotti were announced by the club on December 20.

The 44-year-old has since been linked with Chelsea after Jose Mourinho was sacked, and also with Manchester City.
