It is reported that several major Italian sponsors are ready to finance Guardiola's appointment and contract, which will undoubtedly be among the most lucrative in the coaching market.
Italy's failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup has been a complete disaster for the nation, and the dismissal of current head coach Gennaro Gattuso is now under serious consideration.
Guardiola himself had previously stated that he planned to leave Manchester United and take a break from coaching, but interest from Italy might drastically change the Spanish manager's plans.
