In club football, he’s colloquially said to have ‘mastered the game’. Many wonder where Pep Guardiola finds the motivation to go all the way each season, considering he has won everything with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and now Manchester City. But the Spaniard clearly has no intention of leaving the coaching job.Last season, he extended his contract with the current European champions until the summer of 2025, and if there is no continuation of the collaboration after that, Guardiola is not without a plan. He still has unfulfilled goals. One of them concerns the role of a national team coach.##NAJAVA_MECA_7892292##In an interview with Brazilian ESPN, the three-time UEFA Champions League winner revealed that he wants to try his hand as the coach of a national team at some point in his career.”I would like to train a national team for a World Cup or a European Championship. I would like that. I don’t know who would want me! To work for a national team they have to want you, just like a club. I never thought about winning a World Cup. When I started in this I never thought about winning a league title or winning the Champions League. No. I thought, I have a job? OK. I would like to have the experience of living through a World Cup, or a Euro or a Copa America, or whatever it is. I would like that.”🚨🎙️| Pep Guardiola on what’s left for him to achieve:”A national team. I would like to train a national team for a World Cup or a European Championship.

Allegedly, he was one of the desires of the Brazilian Football Federation, and according to some media reports, he was contacted by the leaders of La Roja, but official negotiations never took place. He is also respected in the England national team. Pep reassured City fans that he has no immediate plans to swap club management for a national job, despite recent comments leading to speculation about his future plans.”I don’t know when that would be, if that is five, 10, 15 years from now but I would like to have the experience of being a manager in a World Cup.”The next World Cup will be held in the USA in 2026, followed by the 2028 European Championships in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, there will be a Copa America in 2028.
