Guardiola open to Prem post
The 39-year-old coach is still a relative novice when it comes to management, having only taken charge at Camp Nou in 2008. He has, however, enjoyed remarkable success in his short time at the helm, guiding Barca to domestic, European and global titles aplenty. Guardiola knows that nothing can last forever, though, and accepts that there will become a time when he is forced to relinquish the reins. When that day comes, the former Spain international admits that he would welcome the opportunity to work in the Premier League, having missed out on the chance to turn out in England during his playing days. "As a player I was interested but it was not possible," said Guardiola. "I would not rule it out. "It is not something I have planned yet but because of the nature of this job, I know I will not be here forever or even for many years. "I don't rule it out but neither is it something I am planning at the moment." Guardiola is reported to have attracted interest from Chelsea in the recent past, while Arsenal and Manchester United view him as a possible long-term replacement for their long-serving bosses Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson.
