Pep Guardiola wants to manage in England

Former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola says he hopes one day to realise his "dream" to manage in England, after not getting the chance to join an English club as a player.

Guardiola is currently living in New York on a sabbatical after leaving the Nou Camp, where he enjoyed a successful spell as manager, and won plaudits for his team's playing style.

But speaking to the FA as part of the organisation's 150th anniversary celebrations, the 41-year-old says he finds English football "fascinating", and wants to experience the atmosphere of the English game.

Guardiola was speaking before being confirmed as Bayern Munich's next manager.
