The English FA’s main desire, Pep Guardiola could present himself to the national team after his final season with Manchester City
The saga of England’s search for a new coach promises to be long and with exciting chapters, largely because the main target is Pep Guardiola. The English Football Association (FA) believes it can convince the Spaniard to take charge of the national team after this season, which will be his ninth for Manchester City.
According to British newspapers, there are no negotiations underway, but the idea is to actually wait until mid-2025 with an interim coach, who should be Lee Carsleycommander of the under-21 team that recently won the European Championship in the category. The plan is similar to what the CBF tried with Carlo Ancelottibut the Italian ended up renewing with the Real Madrid.

Despite appearing happy in Manchester, Guardiola has already left his stay in doubt beyond next season, and may be on his way out. In light of this, the English believe that they would not be too harmed by this wait, since the World Cup qualifiers only start at the beginning of 2025.
Meanwhile, the team will continue competing in the Nations League, from which it was relegated in the last edition and will play in League B. The first rounds will be held on the FIFA Date in September, in matches scheduled against Ireland It is Finlandand should have its usual stars, such as Kane It is Bellingham.
No introduction needed, Pep Guardiola is 53 years old and has had extremely successful spells in Barcelona, Bayern and now Manchester City, as a coach.
