Pep Guardiola's next job is the subject of much intrigue as Manchester City wait for an answer to whether he will extend his contract for a tenth year at the Etihad. Guardiola had been linked with the England job before Thomas Tuchel was installed, but now there is uncertainty over where he would go if he were to leave.
According to Sport, former Barcelona teammate Ronaldo Nazario is keen for a national team to be his next step, none other than the job in Brazil. The ex-Real Madrid striker recently spoke to Guardiola and told the Manchester City coach that if he becomes president of the Brazilian Foodball Confederation (CBF), he wants Guardiola to take over. A rough timeline of 2026 is given, and Ronaldo believes Guardiola is the best coach in the world, the one who will restore Selecao's reputation.
Guardiola has been linked with the job in Brazil several times in the past and was contacted by the CBF after the 2022 World Cup. They played a big role for Carlo Ancelotti in 2023, but after the Italian ultimately stayed at Real Madrid, he rushed to appoint experienced hand Dorival Junior, with disappointing results so far.
