Pep Guardiola has long been associated with Brazil as part of his only remaining goal in management, but the boss of Manchester City may have to replace Carlo Ancelotti to achieve this
Pep Guardiola detracted Manchester City from Manchester City that he will not manage another club side, which gives the desire to enter into a national team in the future. Although his name is thrown around for the Brazilian lane, it seems that he will not take up the reins as soon as Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid is supposed to be assumed as next in line.
During a rocky patch last December, where City won only a single victory in nine games, which started speculation about his term of office, the Spaniard admitted that it was a different club stint that he “didn't have”.
The 54-year-old did not make his ambitions secret to claim international glory, making it the idea to conquer the European Championship or the World Cup. Although Whispers emerged from the interest of Brazil to let Guardiola help their search for World Cup Glory 2026, Ancelotti is said to have taken over those ambitions.
After he had approached last summer that he might take the strings of England before signing a new two-year contract with City, Guardiola trusted in famous chef Dani Garcia on his YouTube channel about what his future has in store.
“I'm not going to manage another team,” Guardiola confirmed in December. “I am not talking about the future in the long term, but what I am not going to do is Manchester City, go to another country and do the same as now.
“I would not have the energy. The thought of starting somewhere else, all the process of training etc. no, no, no, maybe a national team, but that's different. I want to leave it and golf, but I can't play it [if I take a club job]. I think stopping would do me well. “
Earlier in 2024, the Spaniard revealed the competitions he would like to win at such a level and explained: “A national team. I would like to train a national team for a world cup or a European championship. I would like that.”
The athletics reported in November that Brazil was a freer who tried to pry Guardiola away from the city, but other head coaches were admitted to their shortlist to replace Dorival Junior, who was fired later in March.
The Spanish coach, however, wrote his two -year extension to stay in the Etihad that month until 2027, and so, on the national side who fired their coach, he would hardly have been able to take the position. Now it is reported that Ancelotti will lead the role in June as part of a blockbuster deal, leaving the 15-way Champions League-winning Real behind.
In the past, Guardiola has been talking about his Italian counterpart, even before the two met each other earlier this year in Europe-a two-legged affair in which City was eliminated by a 6-3 total score.
“I will never think that Carlo Ancelotti is tactically a bad coach,” Guardiola said in a press conference in February who view an example of the Champions League collision of the couple. “Look where he put [Andrea] Pirlo in Milan, how he uses [Toni] Duckweed, and the position of [Jude] Bellingham. In Manchester we consider him a great coach in everything. “
He continued to exercise: “Exceptional person, we have a good relationship. We don't see each other much. He is more experienced, a little older! He has been successful in many competitions. How he makes teams work, all the success [shows] How good he is. “
While Ancelotti is attached to send the National Team of Brazil to at least after the World Cup 2026, Guardiola's term of office in Manchester, which ends in 2027, leaves the door something in a crack for discussions about whether the respected coach could export his management genius to South America in one day.
