The Manchester City manager has his sights set on one top managerial position above all others, so if the England position were handed to him, Pep Guardiola would decline.
Pep Guardiola will disappoint those who still have hope that he will be the future manager of England.
It is unrealistic to think that he would ever be in charge of the Three Lions. Multiple variables contribute to this.
Guardiola’s long-standing desire to manage Brazil is the most important of these. He feels that the most famous international team in the world should have the most famous manager.
Dorival Junior, brought in at the beginning of 2024 after interim manager Fernando Diniz was fired, currently enjoys this privilege. When Tite was fired after Brazil lost to Croatia in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Diniz was brought in.
The same will happen to Dorival if Brazil loses the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the US. Brazil has set this benchmark for itself.
Additionally, Guardiola might be ready to step in if Brazil needs a new manager by the time the next World Cup rolls around. Manchester City will no longer have him.
After a well-earned respite from the game, he will be rejuvenated and ready for a new challenge. It seems to be the ideal fit.
The intense demands of games and the everyday engagement with players on the training pitch are still things Guardiola longs for. But if the Brazilian FA called, he would make an exception.
He has won everything there is to win with some of the top clubs in the game while managing them. However, winning the World Cup with Brazil would be an incredible accomplishment that would solidify his reputation as the greatest manager of all time.
