Manchester City have no fears that Pep Guardiola will walk away - because he has already rejected the chance to become the new coach of Brazil.
Guardiola, 51, signed a two-year contract extension in November - only to admit last week that he would quit the Etihad if he felt his influence on City’s squad was starting to decline. But Guardiola was offered the tantalising opportunity to accomplish two ambitions last month when Brazil legend Ronaldo made a tentative enquiry to the Catalan’s brother and agent, Pere, to see if the Blues’ was interested in succeeding Tite as head coach.
Guardiola has always said that he would like the chance to take his talents to South America and that conquering international football is also on his wish-list. But Ronaldo was informed that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss signed his new deal because he has unfinished business in Manchester.
