England would favour the box office manager more.

Pep would never go to italy, una want make them expose am?

If no be already top and established team that is not struggling then count pep out
No manager can save Italy

Pep would be the worst choice,

The team lacks talent and Pep isn't good at working with average players

They need a Conte or Allegri- pragmatic managers till they implement a strong long term framework

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?
A good player does not automatically translate into a good coach.

The skill sets are different.

Ask Rooney, Neville, Maradona and many others.

Ask Zidane

One of the reasons he succeeded at Madrid was because he understood players and their ego! Players will also respect those they once looked up to as well. Of course not everyone will suceed but there's a method to it

Coaching is man management. I do not believe Messi is a good leader for example. His players fight and he just looks away. There is talent and there is managing talent with ego and distractions. These guys have seen it all so they don't care. Bayern Coach that used to play for Man City comes to mind again

Apart from man management, there is the strategic, tactical and technical understanding of the game itself.

A good player had good technique...but tactics and strategy and contingency planning is a different beast entirely

Pep wont take any job that will keep him from home because that was the reason his family broke up. Though National team does not involve living in the country week in week out but to say if he accept he wont improve Italy is a big lie. When Guardiola was in barca, he discovered Pedro, Busquet who won Euro and world cup with Spain. He discovered Bobb, Foden, Orielly in Man city so he is not only buying established players. Morever when Guardiola came to Barca we were third in laliga. He managed Messi to that level that it was the first time Messi played a season wirhout an injury. Bojan, Giovanni dos Santos, Alcatara all passed through messi

This man is crypto Jew
Reasons behind his successs
No doubt he will conquer the world with either Italy or England
England has some inherent badluck that makes them bottle it any time they're close to success. Call it near success syndrome or whatever.
Italy isn't just good enough at the moment because the quality of Serie A is at an all time low.

Spain would be his ideal job but I don't see that happening because De la Fuente has proven to be a serial winner.

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
Football made in England not Spain BUT FOOTBALL IS BEING PLAYED IN SPAIN

Lol... Boss, Guardiola can't coach Italy except they are ready for CHANGE.

They have to be ready to do away with that archaic culture of defending.

If Pep will take a national team job it would be France, Spain, Portugal or Morocco. No other countries outside this region. Italy football philosophy is quite different

I don't disagree but you see these guys can be mental and emotional too. Many of them in their 20-30s

Please talk on what you understand sir.





ElevationD:
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.

Reading with understanding is not too hard. If you read my initial comment with understanding, you’d not make such uninformed comment.
