Former Manchester City captain Fernandinho recently revealed that Pep Guardiola has aspirations to manage a national team in a FIFA World Cup in the future. Guardiola, who has spent almost two decades coaching at the club level and eight years at Manchester City, expressed his desire to lead a national team during an interview with ESPN Brasil. He mentioned his interest in coaching at a World Cup, European Championship, or Copa America, although he did not specify a particular country.
Fernandinho, speaking on the Denilson Show, suggested that Brazil could be a potential option for Guardiola, but there are other teams on par with the possibility of hiring him as a coach. He ruled out Spain due to the Catalonia/Spain issue and instead suggested England, where Guardiola currently coaches, and possibly the Netherlands due to his connection with Johan Cruyff.
Fernandinho speculated that Guardiola could be coaching a national team by the 2030 FIFA World Cup cycle, implying that by 2026, he could potentially be with a national team. However, Guardiola’s future at Manchester City remains uncertain, as his contract expires at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Despite concerns from some Manchester City supporters about Guardiola’s potential departure, there is a possibility that he could extend his contract with the club and reach a decade in charge. Manchester City’s management is expected to give Guardiola the space and time to make a decision about his future without applying any pressure on him.
Overall, Guardiola’s desire to coach at the international level has sparked speculation about his potential future with a national team, with various countries being considered as potential destinations for the Catalan coach. Guardiola’s legacy at Manchester City and his future aspirations in international management remain topics of interest and discussion in the world of football.
