Under contract at Manchester City until 2025, Pep Guardiola then wishes to lead a national team to compete in “a World Cup or a Euro”. What if he was the future England manager?
Pep Guardiola has obviously already won everything, including two Champions Leagues with FC Barcelona (2009 and 2011), five Premier Leagues and another LDC with Manchester City, but also five Club World Cups (including one with Bayern) . At 53, while he is under contract until 2025 with the Cityzens, the Catalan technician then hopes to take the reins of a major national team.
What will he do after his great adventure in the North West of England? “ A national team. I would like to lead a national team for a World Cup or a Euro. I would like. I don’t know who would want me! To work with a national team they need you, it’s like with a club », Launched Guardiola to ESPN Brazil.
Southgate, it’s almost over
THE Daily Mail reports the words of the Mancunian strategist and thus evokes the possibility of seeing him at the head of the English selection! And this, while Gareth Southgate, at the helm of Three Lions since 2016, could leave his post this year! The timing, however, is not ideal for Pep Guardiola, who could rather extend his lease with the Cityzens until 2026 than leave in a few months.
This summer, Euro 2024 will indeed offer its share of good runs and disappointments and some selectors could walk out the door. Guardiola will then not be available, fully focused on his club. He will therefore miss the opportunity to apply to European federations, two years before the 2026 World Cup in North America. See you in two years for his coaching career?
