Khaberni - Media reports reveal that the Italian Football Federation is seriously considering appointing the Spanish Pep Guardiola as the new coach for the national team, a move that could restore the "Azzurri" to the platforms of major tournaments with his distinctive coaching experience.
Topskills Sports account on X stated that sources indicate that the Italian federation is seriously considering contracting Guardiola, the technical director of Manchester City, who has expressed a clear desire to experience working with national teams. The Spanish coach is seen as the "Azzurri's" hope to emerge from the dark tunnel and the crisis Italian football is experiencing after failing to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time.
Guardiola said in previous statements to ESPN: "I want to coach a national team in the future. The World Cup, the European Championship, or the Copa America... I want to experience these feelings."
