David Silva delivered his vision of the future of Pep Guardiola. While the Catalan technician approaches 10 years spent on the bench of Manchester City, his former player revealed the post he would like to see him occupy once his Mancunian adventure finished. A prediction that testifies to the persistent admiration of Spanish for his former coach.

“I would like to see him coach of Spain”

Silva did not do in half-measures : “I would like to see him as a coach of Spain. Luis de la Fuente does phenomenal work now, but it would be good to have PEP in the future. The former City community, which has evolved under the orders of Guardiola between 2016 and 2020, already imagines his compatriot at the head of La Roja after the mandate of the Fuente, who runs until Euro 2028.

Silva justifies this choice by a common philosophy: “He could bring a football style based on the good mastery of the ball and always go out to win matches. A bit like the philosophy of the current Spanish national team. »» A vision that fits perfectly with the game offered by the European Champions 2024, which fly over football of the selections since this competition.

Guardiola concentrated on City

For the time being, Guardiola remains focused on Manchester City. Despite a 2024-2 disappointing season ended without trophy and a third place in the league, he signed a two-year extension last November, binding it to the Citizens until 2027. The technician even mentioned the possibility of going beyond: “I have two more years, maybe I will extend two more years. »»

Mancunian leaders have also renewed their confidence with massive investments in the last two Mercatos (Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Cherki, Reijnders, Donnarumma). But Silva's idea made its way: see Guardiola bringing his touch to an already dominant Spanish selection could represent an ultimate challenge for the Catalan strategist.
