FA may try and lure Pep Guardiola to replace Gareth Southgate after Euro 2024
The Mirror The Football Association (FA) are reportedly interested in hiring Pep Guardiola as England manager once Gareth Southgate steps down.
Southgate, 53, is expected to quit his current job when his contract expires after next year's Euros in Germany. The ex-defender has been in charge of the Three Lions since September 2016 and achieved significant success, reaching the final of Euro 2020.
FA chiefs are drawing up a shortlist of replacements and it's believed Guardiola, 52, is on it. The Spaniard, who's won the Champions League three times during his coaching career, is regarded by many critics as the best manager on the planet.
Guardiola's contract with Manchester City expires in June 2025 and there's a chance he could be lured away from the Etihad. He's been in charge of City since July 2016 and may be intrigued by international football after achieving everything at club level.
