Italy need miracle to convince Guardiola as Maldini picture emerges after meeting According to Fabrizio Romano, Italy would need a ‘miracle’ to persuade Pep Guardiola to take the job, as the former Manchester City manager is keen to take a break. Meanwhile, a photo of Paolo Maldini and Leonardo following their meeting with Guardiola has surfaced online. Italy dream of hiring Guardiola as their new coach, especially after a meeting between technical director Paolo Maldini and his advisor Leonardo with the Spanish tactician. All Italian media agree that it will be a tough task to convince Guardiola , given that the 55-year-old is eager to take a break after spending the last ten years at Manchester City. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has published a picture of Leonardo and Maldini on the plane back to Italy after the meeting with Guardiola in Barcelona this weekend.
