Guardiola surprises Italian officials
Officially, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola has declined the offer from the Italian Football Federation to coach the Italy national team, after it was initially expected that he would help bring the team back to international competition following their absence from the 2026 World Cup. The meeting between Guardiola and Maldini in Barcelona focused on the possibility of a contract, but the former Manchester City manager confirmed his desire to take a break and step away from pressure after leaving the club. It is now believed that his chances of coaching the Azzurri have diminished completely, as he continues to insist on resting and has left the door open to the possibility of changing his mind in the future.
