Recently, well-known football journalist and close friend of Pep Guardiola, Guillem Balague, revealed on a BBC program that Guardiola was indeed the FA’s top choice for the new England manager position. However, after two months of consideration, the Manchester City boss ultimately declined the offer.
Balague said, “Guardiola did receive an invitation from the FA, and he thought about it for a full two months. After two months, Guardiola said, ‘I’m sorry, but I don’t know what my plans will be after this season ends.'”
“Currently, Manchester City believes that the likelihood of Guardiola staying is greater than him leaving, but no one really knows what he is thinking.”
“Although Tuchel will lead England in the 2026 World Cup, it is now clear that for the next World Cup cycle, specifically the 2030 World Cup, Guardiola will coach a national team, and England is a strong contender.”
“Of course, if Tuchel leads the Three Lions to win the World Cup, then there won’t be any need to consider Guardiola taking over!”
