Why Guardiola can’t take the England job — even if he wanted to”
Pep Guardiola’s new global ambassador role with City Football Group effectively rules him out of ever managing England, despite speculation following Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup exit.
Pep Guardiola has been linked with the England job following the Three Lions’ World Cup semi-final exit, but a new role blocks the path entirely, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Guardiola has taken a global ambassador position with City Football Group, advising clubs like Palermo, Lommel and Troyes, which prevents him from taking any coaching job elsewhere.
CEO Ferran Soriano confirmed City are “very happy” Guardiola is staying involved with the group. While Tuchel holds a contract until Euro 2028, the manner of the Argentina defeat has raised questions over his future — questions Guardiola, for now, cannot answer.
