The Football Association (FA) is interested in appointing Pep Guardiola as the next England manager, but their main concern is whether he would be willing to leave club football for international management.
Guardiola has shown a strong preference for the daily involvement and tactical challenges of managing a club team, which contrasts with the more sporadic nature of international football. This raises doubts about his interest in taking on the England role.
Additionally, Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City runs until 2025, meaning that the FA would likely need to wait for him to become available. In the meantime, they might consider appointing an interim manager, possibly Lee Carsley, to bridge the gap
