When will Pep retire?

The 52-year-old has astonishingly claimed that he will 'retire' from management if he leads City to another treble this season.

Pep expressed this after his side's Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Wednesday night, where they lost 1-0.

"If we win the treble this season, I'll retire. That's for sure," Goal quoted Guardiola saying.

"I know it is extremely difficult, how many incredible teams have been in England and just one with Sir Alex Ferguson has done it and ourselves last season," he added.

Pep's claim came at a time when the Cityzens are struggling for form in the EPL, with the reigning English champions winless in four consecutive matches.

According to Brfootball, their latest slip-up at Villa Park saw them drop to fourth in the Premier League standings with 30 points.
