Pep Guardiola: 'I won't coach Barcelona again'

Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola has insisted that he has no intention of managing Barcelona again in the future.

Despite winning 14 trophies in a four-year reign before his departure in 2012, Guardiola claims that he has never considered the possibility of returning to the club where he enjoyed success as a player and coach.

"In principle I won't coach Barca again," the Bayern boss told Mundo Deportivo. "I think that there are cycles in life and that mine finished.

"My wife has her work here [in Barcelona] and the idea is to come back and live here. But I don't know when that will be."

Guardiola won four trophies, including the Bundesliga title, with Bayern last season.
