Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has alerted a number of English clubs by revealing his desire to experience managing in the Barclays Premier League in a recent interview.
Speculation surrounding the ex-Barcelona coach's future has been rife, with rumours as early as the beginning of the season linking him with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea.
After hinting at an exit prior to the winter break, it appears Guardiola has already made a decision about the destination of his future.
Carlo Ancelotti has been confirmed as the Bayern manager to start the 2016/17 season, allowing Pep to move on to pastures new.
England calling
"I want to experience a new city and I want to work in England," he said. "I have several offers from England but I haven't signed anything yet."
He added: "I have an opportunity to work in England," adding that he feels he is at the "right age" to move on. "That is the reason I have taken this decision."
"I want new stadiums, cities and restaurants to know," the Spaniard said. "Three years is enough in a club. I'm not a coach of 30 years staying at a club."
Guardiola was manager at Barcelona for four years between 2008-2012, and despite plenty of domestic success and impact on the European stage, there was always the suggestion that Pep was not entirely happy at Bayern.
At 44 years of age, the former Barcelona midfielder has plenty of time to achieve greatness, but will likely not rush a decision as to which club he wants to take charge of next.
Unfinished symphony
Having joined FC Bayern in July 2013, Guardiola has transformed the style of play that the Bavarians were used to, allowing them to play quick passing and flowing football that is a joy to watch.
Over 147 matches as manager, Pep averages 2.43 points per game, a very impressive record. He has won two Bundesliga titles (2013–14, 2014–15), one DFB-Pokal (2013–14), one UEFA Super Cup (2013) and one FIFA Club World Cup (2013).
With a February tie against last season's runners-up Juventus due up in the Champions League, Guardiola would love to record that elusive European Trophy with the German club to add a sense of completeness to his tenure.
