The Football Association of England has decided on the main candidate to replace Gareth Southgate.
Josep Guardiola can manage England’s national football team. At least this is what the Football Association of England is trying to do. Gareth Southgate is set to expire at the end of 2024, according to the Daily Mail.
In this regard, the search for a possible replacement for the specialist has begun, as the 53-year-old specialist is expected to leave his post.
The leadership of English football in the summer of 2022 has identified a circle of the main contenders for the position. So, the candidacies of Newcastle head coach Eddie Gau and Graham Potter, who coached Brighton, but soon moved to work at Chelsea, were discussed.
The prospects of inviting Brendan Rodgers and Mauricio Pochettino were also discussed. But the best option in the FAA is to consider the candidacy of Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola.
However, there are some significant barriers associated with Spanish specialization. The main thing is that the specialist’s contract with the “citizens” is calculated until the end of the 2024/25 season, and therefore the association has to negotiate compensation with the club – the FAA has not yet recovered from the losses due to coronavirus pandemic (the association lost up to 300 million pounds).
In addition, the personal terms of the agreement to be entered into by Guardiola, one of the most titled coaches in modern football, remain unknown.
We remind, earlier the representatives of Manchester City Josep Guardiola and Erling Haaland received awards from UEFA for the last season.
