Guardiola should manage England one day, says Scholes

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola could flourish as England manager later in his career, according to former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes.

Guardiola popularised the possession-based ‘tiki-taka’ style of football at Barcelona, before carrying on his success at Bayern Munich.

His City team are third in the Premier League and carry a 5-3 lead into their Champions League last-16 second leg match against Monaco.

While the Citizens are not enjoying the same unwavering dominance that Guardiola’s Bayern or Barca sides boasted, Scholes believes the Spaniard will get things right at City if he is given time.

According to 42-year-old Scholes, who won 66 caps for the national side, followers of football in England have taken to the 46-year-old’s style of play, and he would be an excellent choice to assume the Three Lions hot seat when his time at City comes to an end.

“I hope he becomes England coach one day and bring us his style,” said Scholes.

“He can still succeed in England. He could improve in defence because at every ground you come under pressure, but everyone in England loves the way his teams play.

“The people of Manchester get to enjoy two of the best coaches in the world [Guardiola and United’s Jose Mourinho] from close by every week.”
