Man City boss Guardiola won't take sabbatical

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has dismissed suggestions that he will take a sabbatical from football.

Reports in England claimed Guardiola wanted to take a break because City's domestic Treble-winning season and tight battle with Liverpool for the Premier League had left him shattered.

Guardiola took a year out of the game because of fatigue after leaving Barcelona in 2012. He spent the year in New York before returning to management at Bayern Munich.

He has two years remaining on his City contract after signing an extension last May and said he fully intended to see out his deal.
