DBasia.news – Andrea Agnelli, President of Juventus, did not conceal his desire to recruit Pep Guardiola from Manchester City.
The issue of Juventus’ interest in the Spanish coach has been rumored. The news was heard after Man City was banned from appearing in the European competition for two consecutive seasons by UEFA for violating the rules of FFP (Financial Fair Play).
Il Bianconeri was allegedly uninterested in extending the service period of Maurizio Sarri for the following season. However, the issue was immediately denied by Agnelli. He claimed to be attracted to Guardiola, but was also aware of the fact that Guardiola was comfortable in training City.
“It would be a big lie to say that nobody thinks of Guardiola,” Andrea Agnelli said, as reported by Football-Italy.
“Right now, he is happy where he is. If I am happy in my place now, I am unlikely to leave,” continued the son of the former CEO of Fiat.
In his coaching career, Pep Guardiola has won trophies in Spain (Barcelona), Germany (Bayern Munich), and England (Man City). But he has never conquered Italy, the country where he played with Brescia and AS Roma.
