Ilkay Gundogan has dropped a major hint about his plans to become a coach, following his departure from Manchester City.
The former German international returned to Manchester last summer on a free transfer after just one season at Barcelona.
Gundogan and Guardiola enjoyed a strong relationship during their time together in Manchester, and Gundogan admitted that the chance to work alongside his mentor in the future would be a great opportunity.
“Being Pep’s assistant would be very interesting for me,” he said in an interview with Bild.
“Coaching is not something I’m seriously thinking about at the moment. I feel like I’m truly enjoying football. Not just for one more year, but at least two, maybe even three or four.”
“I’m not afraid at all. I’m excited, and my body is still in very good shape.”
Gundogan also spoke about his departure from Barcelona and hinted that he wasn’t properly given the chance to speak with Hansi Flick before the club made its decision.
