Italy considers Pep Guardiola for national coach position

Italian Minister for Sport Andrea Abodi indicated that Pep Guardiola is among the potential candidates to replace the current Italy national team coach. He emphasized that hiring the former Manchester City manager is realistic and not out of reach. This statement follows Italy's recent struggles in international competitions and reflects a desire to reinvigorate the national team's fortunes. The Italian Football Federation is likely to pursue a high-profile appointment, with Guardiola's successful track record making him a favorable option. Further developments are expected as the federation evaluates its coaching options moving forward.
