Pep Guardiola targeted for national team job after Manchester City departure

Pep Guardiola is set to leave his role as Manchester City head coach this summer. Media reports suggest he may pursue a national‑team position, with Italy highlighted as a leading candidate. The Italian side, eager to regain prominence ahead of Euro 2028, could benefit from Guardiola’s tactical pedigree.

Other possibilities mentioned include the England and Brazil senior squads, each looking for a high‑profile manager ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Guardiola’s exit creates a vacuum in the Premier League while opening a potential new chapter in international football management.
