FA Considers Guardiola for England Manager

The Football Association (FA) is considering Pep Guardiola as a potential successor to Gareth Southgate as England manager after Southgate's resignation following Euro 2024. Interim manager Lee Carsley, who has been successful with the Under-21s, is in a strong position to take over permanently, especially if he performs well in the upcoming Nations League matches. Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer have both hinted at Guardiola's interest in the role, with Shearer noting that Guardiola is higher on the FA's wishlist than initially thought. Wayne Rooney has expressed his preference for Guardiola but acknowledges that Carsley deserves his opportunity. Guardiola himself has not dismissed the possibility, adding to the speculation about his future plans.
