Pep Guardiola has emerged as a dream candidate to become Italy’s next national team coach following the Azzurri’s latest World Cup disappointment.
Italy’s search for a new national team coach has sparked fresh speculation linking Pep Guardiola with the Azzurri job following another failed World Cup campaign.
According to Nogomania, the Italian Football Federation is exploring ambitious options as new technical director Paolo Maldini, alongside Leonardo, begins a major rebuilding project aimed at restoring Italy’s status among football’s elite.
Antonio Conte and Roberto Mancini remain the leading realistic candidates, but Guardiola has emerged as the federation’s dream appointment.
The former Manchester City boss, who left the club at the end of last season, has previous ties to Italian football from his playing days in Serie A.
While the financial demands of hiring one of football’s most successful managers remain a major hurdle, the report says the prospect of leading a national team could present Guardiola with a new challenge. For now, the possibility remains speculative, with no official approach confirmed.
