Unemployed Pep Guardiola received serious temptations from the Italian Football Federation to take over the helm of the "Azzurri." However, it seems that the efforts will be in vain.

According to the newspaper "Gazzetta," P. Guardiola is expected to reject the offer from the Italian national team.

The veteran football coach has promised his family that he will rest after his work at "Manchester City."

Additionally, the specialist is not satisfied with the salary offered by the Italian Football Federation.

As journalist David Ornstein stated, P. Guardiola had earlier reached a verbal agreement with the Football Association (FA) regarding taking over the England national team. The agreement became irrelevant after a strong first performance from T. Tuchel, but the Spaniard is inclined to step into coaching at the national team level.
