Pep Guardiola says he wants to coach in the English Premier League when he leaves Bayern Munich at the end of this season. Guardiola, who opted not to extend his three-year contract at Bayern, said: “I’m young enough. I’m 44-years-old. I want a new challenge.” The Spanish coach expressed his thanks to Bayern and chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge “because I know the club wanted to keep me, but at this stage in my career I need a new challenge.
