Paolo Maldini, the former head coach of the Italian Football Federation, revealed that negotiations with Spanish coach Pep Guardiola to take over the Italian national team were close to success. He was nearly set to accept after lengthy discussions, visits, and a lunch meeting, and had even begun to outline the team formations on paper. He clarified that his decision not to proceed was not due to money, as he was offered the same salary as before. The real reason behind Guardiola's withdrawal was his desire for rest after ten years of hard work in the English Premier League and undergoing a surgical procedure. After the negotiations fell through, Maldini attempted to appoint Andrea Pirlo as the head coach, but the federation president rejected the idea, leading to Maldini's resignation over disagreements regarding the authority to choose the coach.
