Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola rules out taking charge anywhere else in the Premier League – and hints that he would also come back one day if asked.

The Spaniard is contracted at the Etihad Stadium until 2023 and could extend that, but expects to work elsewhere at some point in the future.

Although he has expressed an interest in international football, the 50-year-old admits he has no clear vision of where his long-term future lies.

One thing he is sure about, however, is that he cannot see himself being employed by another Premier League club and he has even hinted he would rather take on another role at City.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss said: “I’ve said many times when we’ve finished our part here, for the pleasure to live in a European Championship, a World Cup, I would like to live it but I know it is not easy to find it because normally there are few positions.

“I think it is difficult for it to happen. I would like it but, at the same time, if it does not happen I will train a club. That is not a problem.

“In England, being here, I think I will always be at Man City. If I had to come back I would come back to Man City, if they want me. I don’t think I am going to train another club in England. I’m a part of this club.”

These Guardiola’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra, and it attracted plenty of attention from the supporters.

Here are a selection of comments from City supporters made on social media platform Twitter.

Honestly will be gutted the day Pep leaves us, the guy has embraced the club so much and clearly loves it as much as City fans do! 💙💙 https://t.co/o4BcFN02B1

I just love this man so much! He understands what it means to be a blue, the loyalty of the fans and what we are up against. I think it stems from being Catalan, there are certain parallels @PepTeam
