Man City Boss Guardiola Reveals Next Country on Managerial Hit List & Praises Former Mentor Cruyff

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that he has ambitions to manage in Italy after finishing his Premier League project, and has paid homage to his former mentor Johan Cruyff.

In an interview with Festival dello Sport, via the Manchester Evening News, Guardiola gave his opinions on the nation's recent footballing struggles, saying: "What is lacking in Italian football to make a leap forward in terms of mentality? Nothing is missing, history is not written in the last two years, Italy remains what it is.
