🤑 How much is Guardiola asking from Italy?
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Spanish coach is demanding €20 million per season to manage Italy, while the FIGC’s current offer stands at around €10 million.
Additionally, Guardiola has promised his family a break, suggesting that a deal remains a distant prospect. Maldini and Leonardo are working within the federation to persuade the former Manchester City manager.
If Pep does not take the position, the federation’s backup plan includes familiar names like Conte and Mancini.

Antoine Griezmann marked his MLS debut with a stylish goal for Orlando City in their 4-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, achieving his 300th club goal.
😮💨 You almost messed it up, N’Golo…
Jamie Vardy revealed that N’Golo Kanté initially intended to represent Mali internationally, but he and other Leicester players persuaded him to choose France instead: “He wanted to represent Mali to honor his father’s roots. We convinced him he’d win the World Cup with France.” Good job.
