Sanaa:Spanish football pundit Guillem Balague has expressed strong doubts that Pep Guardiola will ever manage the England national team.

According to Thai News Agency, Balague, who is associated with Sky Sports, believes that Guardiola's chances of taking on the role are slim, particularly after Manchester City, his former club, was found guilty of 114 breaches of Premier League financial regulations.

Balague also highlighted Guardiola's previous hesitation in accepting the England job, noting that despite rumors he would take the position in 2024, Guardiola kept the Football Association waiting for months before ultimately declining. This indecision led to the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the national team's manager instead of Gareth Southgate. Balague sees these factors as major obstacles to Guardiola ever accepting the managerial role with England.
