Speaking to reporters, Guardiola admitted that the demands of top level football management have drained his energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left. I am running out of energy.
“I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.
“It’s been 10 years.
“This job is every three days for many, many years. Selhurst Park, Anfield, Madrid, and Madrid… now I have to live my life.
“Ten years is a lot of time. I think the club needs a new manager, new energy. With these incredible players we have right now. Start to write another chapter.”
