Pep Guardiola's next move could take him away from club football altogether. According to BBC News, the former Manchester City manager is being considered for the vacant Italy head coach role, with his fluent grasp of the Italian language seen as a notable asset for the position.
Guardiola left City at the end of last season after a hugely successful nine-year spell that yielded multiple Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph, and speculation over his next destination has been rife ever since. A move to the Azzurri would mark a significant departure from his club management career, placing him in charge of a national team for the first time.
The report also raises the possibility of interest from England, though nothing concrete is suggested there. For now, Italy's vacancy appears to be the more tangible link, with Guardiola reportedly in the mix as the federation searches for a new man to lead the national side forward.
