Pep Guardiola wants to coach a national team and has made it clear. The Manchester City coach, present with the Skyblues since 2016 and under contract until June 2025, expressed to ESPN his desire to soon take charge of a national team. The Spaniard wants to experience a World Cup but also a Euro or a Copa America. The coach of the reigning European champions spoke during this interview and shared his dream of coaching a national team, ensuring that he will go where we want him. He also talked about his passion for coaching and the fact that he didn’t think about winning titles at first.

Guardiola wants to coach a national team

“I don’t know who wants me (laughs). To work for a national team, they have to want you, just like for clubs. When I started, I didn’t think about winning championships or winning the Champions League. I said to myself: ‘if I have a job, that’s good’. I would like to experience a World Cup, a Euro, a Copa America, whatever. I would like to experience that. I don’t know if it will be in five, ten or fifteen years“, confided Guardiola, who is open to everything but who therefore wants to continue to live from his passion as a coach. No idea that seeing the Catalan coach at the head of a national team is an enticing vision.
