Rumors about Guardiola's future have escalated significantly since The Athletic revealed that the CBF has been in with him on multiple occasions. The coach, known for his ability to build successful teams since his time at Barcelona, would consider Brazil as one of his potential destinations, marking a milestone in his career as his first role as a national team coach. The departure of Manchester City's sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, also fuels speculations about a possible new cycle for the coach at the English club, where he has already achieved all major titles.
