Guardiola sounds tetchy but City exit doesn't seem imminent (The Associated Press)

Only six months into his Manchester City reign, Pep Guardiola has sounded tetchy and strained by the demands of English soccer. ''Manchester City is three years or maybe longer but I am still approaching at the end of my career like a manager,'' Guardiola said in broken English in an interview with American network NBC taped in early December but only broadcast last week. Before City scrambles to start the search for a successor, Guardiola is clearly not planning an immediate escape from Manchester however chilly he is finding his first English winter.
