Source: Italy sound out Guardiola as next coach

Italy's Football Federation (FIGC) has sounded out Pep Guardiola as a potential next coach after the national team missed this summer's World Cup, though a source told ESPN the conversation lasted barely 'one minute.' Guardiola, who left Manchester City in May, has stated his intention to take at least one year away from football, and every approach from national teams has been met with that same response. Three other national teams, potentially including the Netherlands and England, have also contacted Guardiola's camp in recent weeks about an international role.
