Pep Guardiola responds to England job links following Lee Carsley interim appointment as Man City boss outlines aims for new season at the Etihad

Premier League

Manchester City

Brentford

<p>A large number of England fans would love to see Guardiola in charge of the Three Lions but for now, the Spaniard has his sights set on a fifth-straight Premier League title with Manchester City. Guardiola, whose current contract expires in 2025, was asked about the England rumours at a press conference ahead of the Community Shield.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Guardiola has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-man-city-world-cup-england-southgate-replacement/bltc074362272115760#cs2dd1b11971d2ab72" target="_blank">expressed a desire to coach an international team</a>, as recently as February. But the 53-year-old is in the midst of an era-defining run with City that has seen the club win six league titles, the Champions League, and a host of other trophies. Should he express a desire to move on from the Etihad Stadium then the FA will surely come calling, but for now the gig is Lee Carsley's after the Under-21 boss was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-fans-react-to-lee-carsley-being-named-interim-three-lions-boss/bltbb6ce87acb29fc5b" target="_blank">placed in interim charge of the senior team</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"I have to consider what to do with my life, if I want to continue here, if I want to take a break, if I want to manage a national team or not," Guardiola said. "I am fully excited for the season because I see things that I like. There's a new challenge, to see if we can break our own record."</p>

WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

<p>The former Barcelona boss is gearing up for the new season, which begins on Saturday with a clash against rivals Manchester United in the Community Shield. </p>
