Guardiola is not expected to take the helm of Italy before 2027, as he is currently under contract with Manchester City.

Italy once again failed to qualify for the World Cup, losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a penalty shootout in the final playoff match for a spot at the tournament, after which the entire coaching staff led by Gattuso was dismissed.
