Pep Guardiola will not become the new coach of the Italian national football team. According to new information, the Spanish coach turned down the offer from the Italian Football Federation, with the reason said to be a desire to devote time to his family and personal reasons. idnes.cz ↗
In the preceding days, the Italian federation confirmed negotiations with Guardiola about a possible takeover of the national team. Giovanni Malagò spoke about them on the podcast Cronache di Spogliatoio after the former Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach announced his intention to take a year-long break. BBC News ↗
Italy is looking for a new impetus after an unsuccessful period, during which, according to available information, it failed to qualify for three World Cups in a row. Guardiola was among the most prominent candidates, having won seventeen major trophies with Manchester City over ten seasons, and he was without a club after leaving. n-tv ↗
According to the Italian side, the financial aspect of a potential agreement was not meant to be the decisive obstacle. In Guardiola's case, exceptions were being considered given his name and experience at Europe's biggest clubs. However, the negotiations did not result in an agreement, and the Italian federation must continue searching for a successor to Gennaro Gattuso. Der Standard ↗
Further developments will therefore focus on the other candidates. Italian football remains under time pressure, as the national team needs to quickly settle the coaching question ahead of upcoming matches and its attempt to return among the successful national teams. BBC News ↗
