This news confirms recent media speculation surrounding the Italian Football Federation’s attempts to secure Guardiola’s services. No immediate reason was given for Guardiola’s decision, leaving the Italy national team search ongoing. The federation is now expected to consider other potential candidates to lead the team forward.
