Pep Guardiola has revealed that he is likely to leave Manchester City in 2023.
The Catalan is currently in his sixth season at the Etihad Stadium, where he has won three Premier League titles, four League Cups and one FA Cup.
He also led City to their first Champions League final in 2021 and will be aiming to win this season's edition of the tournament.
"Next step will be a national team, if there is a possibility," he said at an XP Investimentos event on Wednesday.
"After seven years on this team, I think I'm going to have a stop. I'm going to have to take a break, see what we've done.
"And in the process, I would like to coach a South American (national team), European (national team), playing a Copa America, I want to have that experience."
That will not be easy, of course, but City's financial might means they will almost certainly stick around as regular title challengers.
There is no chance of Guardiola losing focus in the meantime. He may have mentioned his plans for the future this week, but his desire to win silverware is undiminished.
