The England Football Association have reportedly made first contact with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola over the managerial position.
Gareth Southgate’s departure after EURO 2024, has left England searching for a new manager. While Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, and Thomas Tuchel are also in the running, Guardiola is reportedly the FA’s top choice.
According to The Times, the FA informally contacted the former Barcelona boss over the summer to express their interest. However, Guardiola hasn’t given a definitive answer yet.
The timing is intriguing, as Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in six months. He’s yet to decide on his next move, despite City’s willingness to keep him on.
In a recent TV appearance, Guardiola hinted that his future is still up in the air. When asked about joining England, he coyly said, “Anything can happen.”
Despite his clear and unwavering commitment to the champions, it is obvious that the legendary tactician is keeping his options open.
The next few weeks will be crucial in determining his future, and England fans will be watching with keen interest.
