Napoli manager Antonio Conte believes Pep Guardiola is the perfect person to lead the Italian national team. However, Conte was quick to clarify that he has no existing deal with the Italian Football Federation regarding the coaching position.
Addressing recent rumors about his potential involvement, Conte stated that there have been no formal talks or arrangements. As noted by journalist Fabrizio Romano, the coach emphasized that the situation remains entirely open. He also highlighted the current instability within the organization, noting that the federation has yet to elect a president.
When asked about potential candidates, Conte pointed to Guardiola as a representative of the high-caliber talent the team requires. Yet, he questioned whether the federation possesses the financial capacity to attract such an elite manager. While his own name has frequently surfaced in reports, including recent speculation about his future at Napoli, Conte maintains that it is too soon to predict how the leadership situation will resolve.
