GIMME A BREAK!

When Pep leaves City he wants YEARS to spend away from football completely

- FROM DAVID McDONNELL in Chicago

PEP GUARDIOLA says he could take a 15-year break from football when he decides to leave Manchester City.

Guardiola, 54, has won 18 trophies in nine years at City, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League.

He has two more years left on his Etihad contract but said he has already decided to step away from management when he leaves the Blues. “I know that after this spell with City I'm going to stop, that’s for sure,” said Guardiola (circle). “It's decided, more than decided.

“I don't know how long I'll stop for. A year, two years, three years, five, 10, 15? I don't know.

“But I'm going to stop after this spell with City because I need to stop and focus on myself, on my body. I want to simply stop and watch the cows go by when the train goes by.
