Former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has revealed that he is keen to return to coaching following a period out of the game.

The Spaniard departed Barcelona at the end of last season in order to take a year-long sabbatical, but he has reiterated a desire to return to club management.

"I don't have a team to go to but I would like to go back to coaching. I have taken a decision to return to coaching but beyond that no decision has been taken," he told reporters at a press conference ahead of the Ballon d'Or.

Guardiola has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
