Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has reportedly’received an offer’ to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager after Euro 2024.

Southgate’s contract with the Three Lions is slated to expire in December 2024, and reports indicate that it will not be extended and that he may be replaced the following year.

In recent months, a number of prospects, including Roma manager Jose Mourinho, have been connected with the England position.

Given his track record of success as a manager, Guardiola would undoubtedly be a statement appointment.

During his time at Manchester City, the Spaniard has won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, three League Cups, and one Champions League, including a historic Treble last season.

Guardiola arrived at the Etihad with an already illustrious CV, having won 21 titles while managing Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

England has perhaps the strongest squad in a generation, and with fans longing for a major title, Guardiola may be the guy to help them finally get it.

Guardiola has been linked with a return to Manchester City

Guardiola has long been linked with a move away from Manchester City, but he denied those reports at the start of the season.

“I signed a contract for another two years because I feel comfortable — and nothing has changed whether we won [the Treble] or didn’t win,” Guardiola stated in a statement.

“I’m happy, and the people are happy, especially the board and the hierarchy, because they ultimately decide who will lead this group of players.”

“If they’re satisfied, I’m satisfied.” I want to defend what we’ve won, and if I’m exhausted at the end of the season, we’ll chat with the club about extending our contract.”

Man City are presently fourth in the Premier League table, five points behind leaders Arsenal after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Guardiola has been linked to the England post once again, according to reports.

Most fans think that Southgate has done a fantastic job as Three Lions manager, but it’s no secret that he will face criticism if England fails to win the Euros.

As previously said, he has a squad full of superstars at his disposal, like Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Jordan Pickford, and many more.

Pep Guardiola was ‘offered’ the England job; he had been waiting ‘for years’

According to Football365, Guardiola has now’received the offer he has been waiting for years’ and’may quit Man City in the summer for the England job.’

It’seems to have practically determined which challenge would most tempt him,’ according to the article, with Guardiola ready to’remain in Europe’ and ‘take command of the English national team, a country where he feels at home, both he and his family’.

The FA is reportedly ‘considering parting ways’ with Southgate regardless of the outcome, and Guardiola would be’responsible for taking a brilliant generation to the second World Cup’.

Finally, according to the article, ‘it has been leaked that he has already held conversations with the FA to be the new England coach.’

With that in mind, it will be intriguing to observe how this story develops in the run-up to the European Championships next year.
