"I had the opportunity to play two finals at Wembley and that's why my relationship with England is pretty close," he said. "I played there twice, once as a player when I was 19 and it was my first Champions League as a player, as Barcelona finally won the Champions League. It was a huge honour to play at the old Wembley.
"When I was manager of Barcelona, for our second Champions League in three years, it was a real pleasure to play in the new Wembley."
Chelsea and Manchester City have appeared the frontrunners for Guardiola's signature. Pep latest comments in a message prepared for the Football Association's 150th anniversary will add fuel to the rumours.
"As a player, I couldn't realise my dream to play there but I hope in the future I have a challenge to be a coach or a manager there and feel the experience of all the coaches and players that have been there."
I have always found English football very fascinating. The support of the home team is amazing.
"In England, I'm always surprised people always support everything and that is nice".
