Brazil Hasn’t Approached Pep Guardiola – Ednaldo Rodrigues

Brazilian Football Confederation president, Ednaldo Rodrigues has come out to deny claims that he wants to make Pep Guardiola their next coach. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if he understands that Pep is one of the greatest coaches in the world, the Brazil national team has not reached out to him to take over the country’s squad.

He added that the coach of the Brazilian national team is Dorival Júnior, and it’ll stay that way for a while.

His words, “I understand that Guardiola is one of the greatest coaches in the world. But we didn’t do any kind of search for him. The coach of the national team is Dorival Júnior.”

WOW.

Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City. Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, the youngest to win the UEFA Champions League, and he also holds the records for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.

Guardiola has played for and advocated on behalf of the Catalonia football team. Between 1995 and 2005, he played seven friendly games for Catalonia.

Under Guardiola’s predecessor Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona were known for a 4–3–3 with plenty of flair with Ronaldinho being the centre point of the attack. Under Guardiola, however, the team became more disciplined with a greater focus on possession and a disciplined and aggressive pressing style.

Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is an atheist. Guardiola met his wife Cristina Serra when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014.
