Maldini & Leonardo met Pep at his Barcelona home

More from the Guardiola-Italy story 🇮🇹

Maldini told Guardiola they don’t just want him as Italy’s coach.

They want him to build a long-term vision for Italian football and help shape its future.

They’re now waiting for his response.

🚨 GUARDIOLA DRIFTS FURTHER FROM THE ITALIAN NATIONAL TEAM

The dream of seeing Pep Guardiola take charge of the Italian national team is already at risk of fading away.

In recent hours, Paolo Maldini and Leonardo met with the Catalan manager to outline the project for the new national team. The discussion was positive, but according to Sky, the emerging indications are not encouraging: as things stand, it looks like the former Manchester City boss will decline the offer.

The FIGC is continuing to evaluate alternatives, however, with Andrea Pirlo, Roberto Mancini, and Antonio Conte remaining among the leading candidates to take over the *Azzurri* hot seat.

A final decision is expected in the coming days, but the big dream of landing Guardiola seems increasingly unlikely to become reality.

Italy still ignoring Baggio's report till date

Wonderful. We really miss Italian football

My former coach is not going to Italy. Let that sink in

Good development for Italian football

Clash of styles
Guardiola about to destroy serie A ideology >

If he tries it, he will disgrace himself, Italy doesn't have material to work on and national team is not like club, where you can buy players.

make dem contact our own ANGELFROST

Argentina and Brazil need someone of Guardiola’s standing now.

Football development should be focused more in their countries. Allowing great talents move to Europe at early stages of their development has taken its toll on all the countries of South America, making Europe the focus for all.

Someone of Guardiola’s standing and style will revive typical South American football and help to restore it. South American football is truly missed and the quality was not there during the World Cup.

I laugh in Spanish

Pep is a ready made team manager....

He works with good talents not mediocres.

Ah, Spain wahala never finish Una wan build another one abi?

Make Italy no kon use tiki-taka finish us o.

Zidane already for France.

Okocha, Mikel, Kanu, Finidi, Oliseh, Amokachi... You too can do it.

We are moving into an era where former players will become coaches because of on the field experience and they understand what it is to be a player. You wey say school na scam, what are you doing during your active years? What can you fall back to that your experience will help you with?

Pep is eyeing the English job should Tuchel be asked to go!

This man is crypto Jew
Reasons behind his successs
No doubt he will conquer the world with either Italy or England

Hope he knows that coaching a National Team is more difficult, as he won't have the luxury of buying the quality players he needs.

Everybody and team is now wanting the "tiki-taka" style of football

Football made in Spain

Pep will definitely decline the offer

There are lots of mafias within the Italian FA and the entire Italian system capable of frustrating Pep

Pep is more productive if he is given free right and hand to do whatever he wants

Italy may not provide him with that kind of opportunity

His best bet of a national team couch would be that of England, after Tuchel would have been booted out after the Euro 2028

Currently, no vacancy within the Spanish FA - Lots of qualified people are there, waiting to fill up

It will be better. Serie A ideology is old school, it is not working. Italian teams no longer win championship, it also reflects on their national team.

Yeah, that looked like the last serious team. Chellieni and co. They have missed three consecutive worlds cups, that is why they need a big change, with fresh ideas.

They have to pay him alot of money for him to agree, more than what Mancity paid him.

When will Nigeria overhaul the NFF?
