All roads point to Guardiola
The appointment of Paolo Maldini and his advisor, the Brazilian Leonardolike new responsible for the technical area of the Italian Federation of Football (FIGC) has opened the possibility that the Spanish Pep Guardiola becomes the new coach from Italy.
The signing, which would mean a real revolution for the ‘Azzurra’, immersed in a deep crisis after the failure to qualify for the World Cup, would be part of the ambitious restructuring plan that promotes the federation since the arrival, at the end of June, of its new president, Giovanni Malagòaccording to local media this Sunday.
One of the main objectives of this new project would be to convince the Spanish coach to take over the reins of the Italian national team.
Although the signing is quite complex due to economic and contractual reasons of the Catalan coachthe appointment of Maldini and Leonardo represents a first step to attempt a historic revolution in transalpine football that could begin with the incorporation of Guardiola.
The harmony and the relationship of the new managers with Guardiola, who already played as a player in Serie A in the ranks of Brescia and Roma, are emerging as the main arguments to seduce to the former coach of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, who in the past has shown his desire to lead a national team.
