## Resource

Italy’s football federation reached out to Pep Guardiola to lead their national team, hoping to bounce back from another World Cup miss, but he turned them down—plain and simple. After a decade at Manchester City and a legendary career, Guardiola is done coaching and ready for a well-earned break, just like he did after leaving Barcelona. Even though Italy’s technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed they explored other top names like Ancelotti (who’s tied to Brazil), Guardiola’s mind was made up: he’s taking a year off. No drama, no haggling—just pure exhaustion from the grind. Italy’s search continues, but for now, Pep’s resting.
