Italy offer manager's job to Pep Guardiola | OneFootball

Italy seems willing to go all in to avoid the risk of missing out on the 2030 World Cup.

According to Sky Sport, Paolo Maldini and the Brazilian Leonardo, the new executives of the Italian national team, spent the weekend in Barcelona with Pep Guardiola.

According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, during the meeting, the executives offered the Spaniard the job of head coach of the Italian national team for the next cycle.

There are no updates on whether Guardiola gave an answer or asked for some time to decide on the offer.

Italy are four-time world champions, but they have not played in a World Cup since 2014. In the last three qualifying campaigns, the Italians were eliminated and missed out on a spot.

Guardiola recently left Manchester City after years of success. He has never managed a national team.
