Pep Guardiola is not set to become Italy’s next national team head coach, multiple outlets report. La Gazzetta dello Sport first said Guardiola sent a response rejecting the Italian offer, and the decision is also reported as confirmed by Sky. Other sports outlets echo the same outcome, stating that Guardiola has turned down the job opportunity. Coverage also indicates the timing of the decision followed consideration of the proposal during the week. Several reports attribute the rationale, at least in part, to personal priorities, specifically that Guardiola wants to dedicate time to his family. The reports do not indicate that Guardiola is taking an alternative coaching role in the immediate term, but they agree on the central point: the Italian Football Federation’s approach does not result in Guardiola taking the head coach position.
