Pep Guardiola has seemed quite indifferent about his Manchester City future over the past few weeks. The Spaniard is now being considered for a key role away from England.
The Citizens have already won silverware this season after defeating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final. They are out of the Champions League but are in the race to win the Premier League and FA Cup.
Guardiola could still end his time at Manchester City with 15 trophies. He has seen changes at the club, with the current period perhaps proving to be the biggest challenge.
As doubts grow about his long-term future, And other people agree to take his jobThe Italian national team sees him as an option.
Guardiola is emerging as a suggestion
gazzetta dello sport Reports today regarding uncertainty over the Azzurri manager's position. Rino Gattuso is expected to leave following the disaster in Bosnia and replacement options are being considered.
Roberto Mancini and Antonio Conte are currently the biggest options, having both held the position before.
At the same time, the Manchester City boss is also being seen as a dream scenario. That's because Italy are looking for a manager who will change the way the game is played, laying the foundations for a new playing style.
Guardiola is the man who can do that. The newspaper believes he will leave the Etihad in the summer and this could present Italy with a huge opportunity to sign him.
The country's football association - FIGC - could seek help from sponsors to pay the Manchester City manager's salary.
maybe the bridge is too far
The Manchester City manager has played in Italy but managing there is a different ball game. Carlo Ancelotti has twice rejected the opportunity, with the role of Azzurri manager filled with politics and complex problems.
Italy's problems run deep and one manager cannot lay the foundation to bring about that change.
Furthermore, this idea is merely a suggestion. Italy have never appointed non-Italy-born managers in the past and Guardiola will have to overcome a lot of ego to bring him in.
The Spaniard probably still has a club job and managing a national team probably comes too soon.
