The English Football Association wants to have Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, as the coach of the English national team. There are reports that they already had talks with each other.
"The FA sees Guardiola as a strong candidate for the position of coach of the English national team. We have already contacted him and set a deadline," the British media outlet Mirror reported on the 15th (Korea Standard Time).
Guardiola will also make a decision about his future soon, he added.
Guardiola from Spain is considered the best coach in the world at this point.
Guardiola, who played for Barcelona as a player, retired and led Barcelona B and succeeded Franck Leicard as Barcelona's first team manager in 2008. During his first season in 2008-2009, he won La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League, becoming the first Spanish club to achieve the treble. He then won the UEFA Super Cup, Supercopa, and the FIFA Club World Cup, making history of winning six titles this season.
Guardiola, who won his second consecutive league title in the 2009-2010 season, recorded a double by winning the La Liga and the Champions League in the 2010-2011 season. During this period, Barcelona showed off its strong performance through tactics represented by "Tikitaka."
Guardiola, who left Barcelona after the 2011–2012 season, led Bayern Munich in Germany from the 2013–2014 season after a one-year break.
Having won three consecutive league titles in Munich, he took over as manager of Manchester City in 2016 and started a new challenge in the Premier League. The result was successful. Under Guardiola, Manchester City won two consecutive league titles in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. Since then, he has become the best team in England by winning three consecutive titles from the 2020-2021 season.
In particular, in the 2022-2023 season, Guardiola achieved the first treble in Manchester City's history by lifting the FA Cup and the Champions League trophy after winning the league. It was the second treble achievement for Guardiola.
His contract with Manchester City expires after this season. With Guardiola drawing attention to whether he will continue at Manchester City or take on a new challenge, rumors of his appointment as England manager are rising.
The British Times reported that the FA is considering recruiting Guardiola as the national team's coach. "Many people regard Guardiola as the best coach in history."
Guardiola recently told Italian television that rumors about taking charge of the England team are not true. "I am still the manager of Manchester City. Nothing has been decided," he said, but left room for concern as he did not know what would happen. 안전놀이터
British media reported that "it has not been decided whether Guardiola will continue to lead Manchester City. He will make a decision on his future within a few weeks."
Meanwhile, Guardiola said in an interview earlier this year, "I want to take charge of the national team and lead the World Cup or European Championship."
