Pep Guardiola’s new City Football Group role has emerged as a key obstacle to any potential move into the England manager’s job.
Pep Guardiola has again been linked with the England job following the Three Lions’ World Cup semi-final exit, but his new role with City Football Group could prevent any immediate return to coaching.
Thomas Tuchel remains under contract until Euro 2028 despite growing scrutiny after England’s defeat to Argentina.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Guardiola recently became CFG’s global ambassador, providing technical guidance and working on projects across the group’s clubs.
The position prevents him from taking another coaching role while he remains involved with multiple teams under the CFG umbrella.
Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano praised Guardiola’s continued contribution, describing the former City manager as a club legend who will support managers and players across the network.
