The former Barcelona coach was speaking ahead of the English FA's 150th anniversary commemorations in London on Wednesday.
"I've always found English football very fascinating, for the environment, the crowd and the supporters," Guardiola said. "In Italy, Latin people will support you when you are playing and when you lose, they kill you. In England I'm always surprised that people always support everything and that is nice. That's why, maybe, I hope to have the challenge or the opportunity to train there.
"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. It is unique, to play in that League. The support is amazing. I want to feel the supporters, the environment, the media and the style of the players and everything.
“I am still young, just 41, so I hope in the future I could be able to train there and enjoy that."
Former Chelsea manager José Mourinho had also stated, not 24 hours earlier, in his tribute to the FA's 150th anniversary: "In England you feel the real passion for the game. You also don't feel what we feel in almost every other country which is the passion for clubs. In England, it's not just about passion for clubs, it's mainly about passion for football – and you feel it.
"So, my memories are great. I loved it from the first to the last day. I don't regret my last day because after that I was lucky enough to enjoy Italy and to have and enjoy some success there and also in Spain, so I don't regret the day I left.
“But I know that one day I will come back because English football means a lot to myself."
Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich is known to have a near-obsession with hiring Guardiola, and hired Rafael Benítez merely as "interim manager" until end of the season.
Manchester United are reported to have Guardiola as their number one target to replace Alex Ferguson when the long-serving manager retires, while Manchester City are also keen for his services.

Lol I've always dreamed of Pep coaching Arsenal but that aint realistic at the moment, Chelsea or Man City are more likely destinations as Pep likes spending and both those clubs aren't exactly afraid to spend.
