Bayern Munich boss Guardiola warns: It may be two years before I coach in England

Pep Guardiola has revealed he may not be managing in the Premier League for another two years.

The Spanish tactician recently announced that he would be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season to take up a job in England.

Immediately, former Barcelona boss Guardiola was heavily linked with Manuel Pellegrini's job at Manchester City but he has since suggested that perhaps he may not be making his way to the UK as quickly as everybody believes.

"When I sign a contract I will announce it immediately," said Guardiola.

"Maybe it will be two years until I will coach a team in England.

"I am very happy about my experience in Munich. I am working until my last second here.

"After that I will go home and wait to see if it is possible to move to England or not. If it's not, then I won't."

44-year-old Guardiola has also been linked with Louis van Gaal's job at Manchester United while Chelsea has also been mentioned as a destination for the two-time Champions League, three-time La Liga and dual Bundesliga winner.
