The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has sensationally confirmed that Pep Guardiola is a primary candidate to take over as the next head coach of the Azzurri. President Giovanni Malago admitted that the federation is prepared to make a significant financial 'exception' to lure the former Manchester City boss to the international stage.

Italy are desperately trying to convince Pep Guardiola to become their new national team manager. Technical director Paolo Maldini and advisor Leonardo recently held face-to-face talks with Guardiola in Barcelona. However, the former Manchester City boss wants to take a break from football, meaning the Italian football federation faces an almost impossible task to hire him.

And just like that, it's over. After five-and-a-half weeks of breathless action, the 2026 World Cup is beginning to appear in the rearview mirror, the biggest international tournament in football history leaving behind a lifetime of memories while champions Spain continue their own celebrations.

Spain have officially etched their names into the history books after a 1-0 victory over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. Luis de la Fuente's side secured their second world title with a superb defensive display, extending their unbeaten run to a record-breaking 38 matches. The triumph in North America sees La Roja surpass the previous all-time record.
