Pep Guardiola Targeted For International Manager Role Amid Ongoing Manchester United Pursuit

Pep Guardiola Targeted For International Manager Role Amid Ongoing Manchester United Pursuit The 55-year-old manager vacated his position as Manchester City manager following the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign - a season in which he bowed out of English football after a silverware-laden decade with the League Cup and FA Cup as his final triumphs. Throughout his tenure as City head coach, Pep Guardiola delivered a remarkable 20 trophies including a maiden UEFA Champions League success in 2023 as part of a Treble that included the Premier League and FA Cup. Guardiola also led Manchester City to becoming the first-ever English club to win the top-flight in four consecutive seasons, claiming the Premier League title in 2017/18 and 2018/19 before winning the crown consecutively between 2021 and 2024. Now, with the belief being that Pep Guardiola has now managed in club football for the final time after successful spells at FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich , international options appear to be on the table. According to The Athletic , U.S. Soccer are expected to make former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola a top target to replace Mauricio Pochettino if the current U.S. men’s national team coach leaves for Manchester United . The aforementioned Catalan tactician, who left the Etihad Stadium during the past summer, has reportedly been discussed internally as a candidate across multiple levels of the federation’s hiring process.
