Italy coach: Pirlo becomes favorite, Guardiola ends

According to Tuttomercatoweb.

Context

Andrea Pirlo, former emblematic player of the Italian national team, already has experience as a coach with United FC in Dubai. His style of play and understanding of football could bring a new dynamic to Squadra Azzurra. As a coach, he could draw inspiration from Pep Guardiola's methods while integrating his own vision of the game.

Why it matters

Pep Guardiola's decision not to take charge of the Italian national team paves the way for Andrea Pirlo, who could become the new coach of the Nazionale. This marks an important turning point for Squadra Azzurra, who are looking to rebuild after disappointing performances. With figures like Paolo Maldini and Leonardo at the helm of the Federation, Italy could enter a new era under Pirlo's leadership.

Key points

• Italy coach: Pirlo becomes favorite, Guardiola puts an end to it.
• Pep Guardiola has put an end to rumors about taking over as head of the Italian national team, saying he wants to focus on his personal life.
• Pirlo guadagna posizioni per l'Italia, Guardiola si tira fuori: "La panchina non mi manca".

The race to succeed the post of Italy coach is raging and discussions are intensifying in the corridors of the Federation. Since the appointment of Paolo Maldini and Leonardo as new Technical Directors and Advisors, the time has come for reflection and imminent decision-making for the one who will carry the hopes of the Squadra Azzurra in the next international events.

One name kept coming back for this prestigious bench: that of Pep Guardiola. However, the Catalan technician clearly ruled out this possibility during a recent interview with a cryptocurrency company, stating: “Mentally I don't miss anything. I don't think I'll have to do it again anytime soon. Above all, I want to take time for myself, to enjoy my children, my 95-year-old father, my sisters and my brother. » Guardiola clarified that he will advise later if he wishes to return to the field, but that in the short term, he has no intention of returning to coach, even at the highest international level.

This statement comes at the right time to clarify the situation around the future Italian coach. The absence of Guardiola in the list of potential coaches gives a definite advantage to Andrea Pirlo. The former Italian midfield maestro, now in charge of United FC Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, becomes a credible option to take over from Gennaro Gattuso, his former teammate, who recently left the role. Note that during the last two matches, it was Baldini who was in charge.

Pirlo is not the only name being considered, however. Antonio Conte, already on the Azzurro bench, as well as Gianluca Mancini, are also among the profiles followed to open this new chapter which should allow Italy to regain the rank which made its legend. Whatever happens, the choice of the future coach will be crucial for the renewal of the Italian selection, eliminated prematurely from the last World Cup and in search of new impetus.

The final decision should be made shortly, under the watchful eye of an entire country which hopes to quickly return to the top of world football.

The rest

The Italian Federation is expected to announce the new coach soon, and Andrea Pirlo is now in pole position for this position. Discussions around the nomination will intensify, with candidates like Antonio Conte and Gianluca Mancini still in the race. Expectations are high for the future coach, who will have to prepare the team for the upcoming international competitions.
