Alan Shearer has stirred speculation by suggesting that Pep Guardiola could become the next England manager. With Guardiola’s contract at Manchester City expiring next summer, rumors have circulated that the FA might pursue him for the role.
This chatter gained momentum after the FA appointed Lee Carsley as interim manager instead of making a permanent choice, indicating they might be holding out for a high-profile candidate. Guardiola, when asked about the possibility after City’s Community Shield win over Manchester United, did not dismiss the idea, saying, “I have to decide what I want to do in my life.”
On “The Rest is Football” podcast, Shearer mentioned hearing that Guardiola is on the FA’s radar but acknowledged it could just be a rumor. The FA, meanwhile, intends to conduct a thorough search for Gareth Southgate’s successor, a move Shearer supports as a wise decision.
