BREAKING: Pep Guardiola Rejects Italy Job As Klopp [DETAILS]

Former Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has turned down an offer to become the head coach of the Italian national team.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Guardiola rejected the approach from the Italian Football Federation after considering the proposal this week.

Romano reported that the Spanish coach “said no” to the offer, with Guardiola choosing to spend more time with his family before eventually returning to football management.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager reportedly wants to take a break from coaching and dedicate more time to his family.

Naijaonpoint Nigeria reports that Guardiola ended his 10-year spell as Manchester City manager at the end of last season, bringing an end to one of the most successful managerial eras in the club’s history.

He took charge of City in 2016 and remained at the helm until 2026, guiding the club to multiple Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League trophy.

During his time at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola transformed City into one of Europe’s dominant teams, winning several major domestic and international honours.

His decision to reject the Italy job means the country’s football federation will now have to look elsewhere for a new manager to lead the national team.
