Following Italy’s dramatic elimination in the World Cup qualifying play-offs against Bosnia and their subsequent failure to qualify for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, national team manager Gennaro Gattuso is on the verge of being sacked. La Gazzetta dello Sport is now even suddenly naming Pep Guardiola as one of the possible successors.

Pep Guardiola could take a very surprising next step following his departure from Man City
GettyRecently, there have been persistent rumours that Guardiola might leave Manchester City early, despite the Spaniard still being under contract until 2027.
However, a move in the summer seems rather unlikely, whilst the search in Italy for a successor to Gattuso is, according to Fabrizio Romano, already in full swing.
Massimiliano Allegri is seen as the Italian Football Federation’s favourite candidate, but his appointment also seems rather unrealistic, as the AC Milan manager is unlikely to receive permission from his employer, with whom he is under contract until 2027.
