He has previously been linked to roles with Brazil, England and the United States and said he would like to take charge at a major tournament — the World Cup, European Championship or Copa America — before the end of his career.

Asked by ESPN Brasil what was left for him to achieve, Guardiola said: “A national team. I would like to train a national team for a World Cup or a European Championship. I would like that.”

Asked whether he had a preference of which country he manages, the 53-year-old said: “I don’t know who would want me! To work for a national team they have to want you, just like a club.”
