Premier League: Roy Keane Urges FA to Consider Guardiola as England Manager Amid Uncertainty Over His Future

Pep Guardiola has hinted that “anything can happen” regarding his future at Manchester City, sparking further speculation that he could be a candidate to replace Gareth Southgate as England's permanent manager.

Guardiola, 53, who has led City to six Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph since joining in 2016, is out of contract at the end of the season. While he recently expressed his deep love for the club, he has yet to commit to a contract extension. Rumours have continued to swirl around his potential move to international management, specifically the England job.

"Leaving City? It’s not true, I haven’t decided yet," Guardiola clarified in an interview on Italian TV show Che Tempo Che Fa, according to Sky Italia. "And it is not even true that I will be the next England coach. If I had decided, I would say it … I don’t know either, anything can happen."

ITV pundit Roy Keane believes the Football Association (FA) should keep their options open and consider Guardiola if he becomes available. Speaking after England's interim manager Lee Carsley guided the team to a 3-1 Nations League victory over Finland, Keane said, “The FA have to go for the best guy, whatever. Go for the best. Pep’s contract is up in the summer.”

As Guardiola weighs his next move, England could potentially have one of the most successful managers in modern football history on their radar. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely as his future unfolds.
