Pep Guardiola 'will never manage in Spain again for social reasons', claims Man City manager's biographer - with his proud Catalan identity likely to cause a 'mess' if head coach returned home after leaving the Etihad

Pep Guardiola's biographer has all but ruled out a return for the Manchester City manager to coaching in Spain after his time at the Etihad wraps up in a new interview.

Marti Perarnau has been covering the manager for over ten years, and produced three books on his stints at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and in Manchester, where the head coach is halfway through his seventh season at the Treble-winners.

After nearly eight years at Man City - and a near-unprecedented run of success in the Premier League and cup competitions - Guardiola's future beyond the side has been much discussed.
