‘I'm a wreck, everything hurts' – Man City boss Pep Guardiola reveals his plan to quit football and ‘focus on myself'

PEP GUARDIOLA says he is a 'wreck' as the Manchester City boss opened up on the physical toll that competing for major trophies has had on him. The Spaniard is desperate to restore City back to the top when the Premier League kicks off next month after a spell of four league titles in a row ended in failure last season. 5 5 5 According to close friends, Guardiola's mood is said to range from 'euphoric' to 'depressed' as the 54-year-old reiterated his plans to take a break from management after life at the Etihad. Guardiola even half-joked being boss of the blue half of Manchester has taken years off his life when he said: 'Quite a few, especially if things are going badly. 'As I am now I'm 75 years old! I'm a wreck, everything hurts right now. 'So, if it's my biological age… maybe if I take the test, I'll come out younger. I hope to be better than I am now in a while. 'If things are going badly, the nights are harder, the day-to-day is harder. "The job of a coach, and I'm not just saying this for myself but for all my colleagues, is 24/7. If not, you won't get through it. 'The pressure on your shoulders is enormous, and you need people to lend a hand to put things into perspective, above all. 'You have to try to achieve stability when you have so many ups and downs and you're up to your neck in everything. 'A friend of mine, who I think defined me very well, once told me that I have three states as a person: euphoric, depressed, and absent. Those are my three states. "So the point is to try to stay in the middle of these three.' Guardiola left scratching his head as City blow 3-0 lead against Feyenoord Guardiola showed how the stress got to him while City did not win any major silverware last term. Before the Club World Cup, the ex-Barcelona and Bayern chief revealed he struggled to eat during a miserable campaign. And as he heads into a tenth season in charge of City, Guardiola has the hunger to reclaim that winning feeling. He told GQ magazine in Spain: 'I'm delighted to have failed. As I am now I'm 75 years old! I'm a wreck, everything hurts right now. Pep Guardiola 'I love failures. In this society where everything has to be perfect, where you have to post your food on Instagram… 'Oh, how good, how happy I am'. 'Every day we have to prove that we're happy. Well, yes, I'm sad, I fail and I lose. So?' Despite a struggle to qualify for the Champions League, Guardiola still signed an extension to his contract that now runs for a further two seasons. 5 But he vows that by the end of the 2026-27 campaign he'll be calling at least a temporary halt to the career – as he did after leaving Barca before joining Bayern in Germany a year later. He said: 'I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure. It's decided, more than decided. 'I don't know how long I'll stop for… a year, two years, three years, five, 10, 15, I don't know. 'But I will leave after this spell with City because I need to stop and focus on myself.' I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure. It's decided, more than decided. Pep Guardiola Guardiola has this summer brought in new signings Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Sverre Nypan and James Trafford as part of his re-build of a squad last season that also aged badly. And as City return to pre–season training he says he's up for the fight again – no matter his emotional struggles, adding: 'The important thing is to give it your all and do it well. 'And I haven't given up on that… next year I'm going to do better. That's what it's all about.'

The Lionesses' roaring success has inspired a whole generation of girls

SIR – I wonder if we, as a nation, have fully grasped the magnitude of the Lionesses' success in the women's Euros ('England's roar of victory', report, July 28). They have become champions, role models and pioneers. They've inspired a generation of girls to lace up their boots and believe that football truly is for them. Yet amid the flags and face paint, we still find ourselves singing about 1966 – and a goal scored by a man who, if he played today, might be astonished by the speed, skill and sporting spirit on show in the women's game. We rightly celebrate the rise of women's sport. But perhaps it's time we stopped framing their achievements in relation to the men's game and simply recognised them for what they are: history-makers in their own right. Shaun Fenton Headmaster, Reigate Grammar School Reigate, Surrey SIR – What a pleasure to see our girls win, and in what style: no arguing with the referee, and no on-pitch arguments or bust ups. In an age in which it seems that everyone with a voice chooses to denigrate this country, it was also a joy to have Chloe Kelly saying she is proud to be English. Andrew Segal Hampton, Middlesex SIR – The Lionesses' male equivalents, with their ridiculous pay awards, reveal themselves to be either wimps or posers with their on-pitch antics. Give me women's football to watch every time. David Rhys Budleigh Salterton, Devon SIR – What an excellent success – and Spain were every inch as good, bar one kick. At Wimbledon there would have been a mutual handshake congratulating the losers. Alastair Milne Home Banbury, Oxfordshire SIR – Camilla Tominey (July 28) rightly describes the Lionesses as the pride of the nation. A pride of lions consists of lionesses – they are the primary predators, requiring speed, coordination and teamwork – and dominant male lions, whose job is to protect the pride's territory with their greater size and strength. This may explain why the English Lionesses are more successful than their footballing male counterparts. Stan Labovitch Windsor, Berkshire SIR – The BBC claims that television licence fees need to increase in order to maintain production standards. If costs are an issue, why was it necessary for the newsreader Reeta Chakrabarti to be sent to stand outside the football grounds in Basel when the sports editor Dan Roan was already there?

Give me the drama and subtlety of women's sport over the boring, money-driven Club World Cup, writes OLIVER HOLT, after Lionesses Euros triumph

After the fourth Test between England and India at Old Trafford had dawdled to a draw, I listened to Ben Stokes 's press conference and then walked back into the media centre to watch the end of the football. Those of us that remained, gathered around one laptop, glued to the England-Spain penalty shootout in Basle. After Chloe Kelly had scored the decisive kick, I walked up Warwick Road to my car. There's a pub near there called The Bishop Blaize and, when Manchester United are playing at home, it is rammed with cheering, singing fans. There is always a queue of supporters outside, waiting to get in. When I got nearer to it, I heard screams and shouts coming from inside and drifting out into the evening. I wandered in and the place was packed with England football fans watching Leah Williamson and her deliriously victorious team-mates lifting the European Championship trophy. All the old pictures were on the walls: Sir Jimmy Anderson, Eric Cantona, George Best, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. But something was different. Alongside them, every single one of the six televisions in the pub had been showing the women's football. I started the drive home. My elder daughter had come back for the weekend to see England-Spain with a couple of old schoolmates. She said the pub where she'd watched it had been heaving with supporters. My younger daughter had watched it with her mum. My son was at a music festival and, when I picked him up, he said the band he was watching had announced the result from Switzerland during their set. It occurred to me then how much more visible the women's Euros had been than the men's Club World Cup. Several factors helped determine that: free-to-air television for the Euros and a subscription channel for the Club World Cup was one of them but, still, the difference was stark. FIFA desperately tried to pump up the Club World Cup as the great showpiece for the men's game but, in this country, it barely broke the waves. I had to work hard to find a bar showing the final in London earlier this month. Even though Chelsea won it, it failed to capture the public imagination. But the women's Euros were everywhere. The final was a national event. Millions were gripped by it. There will be a parade. There will be official receptions. There will be mentions in honours lists and Chloe Kelly will be up against Rory McIlroy for Sports Personality of the Year. In some ways, none of this is news to anyone. Women's football in this country has been on the rise for the last 20 years and it is pushing more and more into the mainstream. There are still many eager to demean it but triumphs like Sunday night's will only give it more power. It was a hugely important triumph, just as this team's victory at the Euros in 2022 was. Attendances in the Women's Super League dropped 10 per cent last season and progress is still fragile but the success of the national team will move things forward again. Not everyone will be converted and that's fine. No one has to watch women's football. You could always find another channel showing a meaningless, dull, half-hearted, money-chasing summer series affair in the Far East or America between two Premier League sides who don't really want to be there and will be complaining about player burn-out before the new season's three weeks old. If that's your thing, that's your thing. It is amusing when men — and it is almost always men — seek to deride the women's game given that it was men who banned it in this country for 50 years and stopped its evolution in its tracks. Those voices are being forced further and further towards the margins anyway. The idea that men's sport is automatically better than women's sport because men are imbued with physiological advantages is patently absurd. Sport is not all about power. It's about vision and subtlety and skill and bravery and drama and jeopardy. The best passage of sport I've seen this year? Probably Emma Raducanu's Wimbledon ladies singles third-round match against Aryna Sabalenka earlier this month. It was a magnificent, pulsating, enthralling, unrelenting match between two superb athletes with compelling narratives. Did the fact that Novak Djokovic would have beaten both of them diminish that? Not one iota. Because the men's game is a different event. Look, it's not as if I can claim to be a devotee of women's football. I don't watch it every week. I wasn't in Switzerland for the Euros. But I saw the semi-final between England and Italy and I was gripped by the drama of it and particularly by the emergence and the impact and the star quality of the teenager, Michelle Agyemang, who turned the game in England's favour and rescued them with an equaliser late in added time. It was brilliant to watch. It was great sport. Some men, mainly on social media, still behave as if they want to outlaw it again. They act as if it is an affront to their masculinity, as if it is violating some male inner sanctum. England's victory in Europe dealt that opposition another blow.
