The agent of Pep Guardiola says 'Chelsea and Manchester City' must wait for the former Barcelona coach. Guardiola will continue his sabbatical in New York City, which he has been enjoying since quitting Barcelona at the end of last season, and will only look to the future in 2013.

His representative, Josep Maria Orobitg, told calicomercato.com: "I want to clarify one thing, Pep will not talk with anyone until January.

"He does not want to know anything about the future, nor about Chelsea, City, Paris Saint Germain, Milan or Roma.

"Neither (does he want to know) about Chile, Brazil and all the national teams the press have done during this period. He is now in New York and he wants a free mind."
