Italian FA Holds Talks with Pep Guardiola Over National Team Job

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has reportedly held talks with Pep Guardiola in an effort to convince the Spanish tactician to become the next head coach of the Italy national team.

According to reports, the federation views Guardiola as its preferred candidate to lead the Azzurri into a new era, with discussions focusing on the long-term vision and future of the national team.

Guardiola, widely regarded as one of the greatest football managers of his generation, has enjoyed remarkable success at club level, winning numerous domestic league titles and UEFA Champions League trophies with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City.

No official agreement has been announced, and negotiations are understood to be ongoing.
