BREAKING: Pep Guardiola Has Finally Ended Speculation

Pep Guardiola tells Manchester United, City, Chelsea and Arsenal: Come and get me

PEP GUARDIOLA has revealed he didn’t extend his contract with Bayern Munich — because he wants to manage in the Premier League.

The Spanish superboss has been linked with Manchester United, City, Chelsea and Arsenal as the Prem’s top teams look to bring in world football’s most highly sought-after manager.

And he has finally ended speculation, partly, on where he will be coaching next year.

Guardiola, 44, said: “I want to coach in Premier League. That is the reason I did not prolong my contract. “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.

"I have some offers from England, but I've not signed anything yet.

"My career is a long way from over and when I have a new club it will be the club that makes the announcement.

Pep: I need a new challenge

"At the moment I cannot say anything else because nothing is fixed."

The former Barcelona chief left Catalonia in 2012 and joined the Bavarian club a year later.

His Bayern predecessor Jupp Heynckes was in charge for two seasons — having already spent one as interim boss — and left Guardiola a treble-winning team to work with.

Guardiola added: “If I were 60, 65-years-old, I'd stick with Bayern, but I think I'm too young. I need a new challenge.

“Three years are enough. I am not comfortable with staying at one club for 30 years. I want new restaurants, a new city, a new challenge.

“When I got to Munich, people asked, ‘Why Germany and not England?’ I want to experience the emotions there.

“Why England? That’s my instinct right now.”

Guardiola has been tipped to join Man City, replacing Manuel Pellegrini at the end of the season, but has told United and Chelsea he is still open to offers.

The news is concerning for under-fire Man United boss Louis van Gaal.

The Dutchman found himself on the brink of being sacked after a dreadful six-game spell without a win — three of which were consecutive losses — before finally beating Swansea on Saturday.

Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovich is desperate to land the two-times Champions League winning coach, despite having already appointed Guus Hiddink as interim boss following Jose Mourinho’s sacking.

And the Emirates has emerged as another potential new home for the Spaniard, with boss Arsene Wenger, 66, closing in on his 20th year at the Gunners.
