Pep Guardiola, nearing the end of his transformative decade at Manchester City, has expressed an openness to managing the England national team in the future.
The Football Association has long identified the esteemed Catalan coach as their 'dream' candidate for the Three Lions' dugout.
While Gareth Southgate is currently at the helm, and Thomas Tuchel is in place through Euro 2028, the FA's long-term vision includes Guardiola.
It is anticipated that Guardiola will embark on a sabbatical following his departure from City, mirroring his break after leaving Barcelona, before deciding on his next career chapter.
International management is reportedly growing in appeal for the legendary manager.
However, Saudi Arabia has also emerged as a significant contender, with their ambitious plans centered around the 2034 World Cup.
Despite England having a stable management situation for the present, the FA recognizes the potential rarity of an opportunity to secure Guardiola.
This awareness means the FA will likely keep the door ajar for a future approach, should the stars align and circumstances become favorable for both parties.
