Will he replace Tite? The striking offer of the Brazilian team to Pep Guardiola

The Brazilian National Team has been characterized by always having coaches from the same nation, however, this could change. The ‘Canarinha’ would have a new coach after the 2022 Qatar World Cup and they would already have the offer ready for Tite’s replacement, the same one who would be Josep Guardiola. The Manchester City coach could lead his first football team.

This is revealed by the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, which reports that in Brazil they want Guardiola to be Tite’s replacement after the World Cup in Qatar, which will be played next season between November 21 and December 18 this year.

As published by the aforementioned media, the offer that has been transferred to the Manchester City coach’s environment is 12 million net for four years, that is, until after the 2026 World Cup.

It is not the first time that Pep has an offer on the table to train the Brazilian team, which he has already tried in the past. And although they are very excited at ‘Scratch’, the coach still has a contract with the English team until 2023. However, if he fails to win the Champions League this season, his cycle at City after six seasons would be over.

Tite opened the doors of Brazil to Pep

In September of last year, and prior to a qualifying match against Chile, Tite was asked about the possibility of seeing ‘Pep’ one day training the Brazilian team: “The coach has no nationality but competence and this is a logic that applies both to him and to the Brazilian coaches”.

The query came after Guardiola himself, at an event in Brazil in August 2021, stated that his next step was to train a selected team. “I would like to train in a European Championship, a Copa América or a World Cup”, Said the Catalan DT then.

However, ‘Pep’ himself later dropped the possibility of directing ‘Verdeamarela’: “I believe that the coach of the Brazilian team will always be a Brazilian, I don’t see a foreigner in teams like Brazil”.

But those words, both from one and another technician, now have a different context. Tite already knows his fate in the ‘Seleçao’ and Guardiola now has an offer on the table. In Brazil the illusion is great.
