England football team coach Gareth Southgate has resigned after the defeat in the Euro final. In addition to leading England to the Euro finals twice in a row, Southgate also made the World Cup semi-finals once. But even then the end was not saved. In the end, he resigned from the job in the face of criticism about the style of the game.
After the departure of Southgate, England is now looking for a new coach. However, under-21 team coach Lee Carsley has also been given the responsibility of interim coach. However, English legend Gary Lineker hopes that Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola can take charge of England at the end of the season if not now. He also gave reasons behind such expectations.
Earlier, Guardiola himself spoke about his future, "I have to decide what I want to do in life." Do I want to continue here, do I want to take a break, do I want to work for the national team or not — a lot (to think about).'
This thought of Guardiola basically provoked Lineker. Speaking on the 'Rest in Football' podcast, the former England striker said, 'I saw an interview with Pep Guardiola a few days ago where he was asked if he was interested in becoming England coach. You know, most people avoid such questions. But he did not go.
After explaining his statement further, Lineker says, 'I thought about the way he spoke. I think he might be interested in this job. The reality is they have appointed Carsley on an interim basis and Pepe's contract will also expire at the end of the season. Anyway, I might be thinking a little too far ahead here.'
