Pep GuardiolaManchester City coach, He trusts Jurgen KloppLiverpool coach, He is not retiring from football completely, and after the sabbatical he takes next year, he will return to the sport.

“I completely respect his decision,” Guardiola said on Friday in the press conference ahead of Sunday's match against Liverpool.

“I spoke to him and I have a feeling he will return to football later. He loves the sport. His passion is still there. He has already explained perfectly why he left. So this could be his last time in the Premier League.” The Spaniard added about the German: “But maybe we will meet again in the FA Cup. We will see.”

Klopp is the only coach to have faced Guardiola eight or more times and to have a positive record against the Spaniard: the German has won twelve times, compared to Guardiola's 11, and who, if he wins this Sunday, will not only equalize the competition, but also level it. It would also take the lead from the Reds with ten games remaining until the end of the season.

The Spaniard added, “I don't think this is our last match. We can still meet in the FA Cup. He's young, and I'm young, so I don't think it's the last time.”
