Guardiola rejects USA national team coaching role

Pep Guardiola has turned down an offer to take charge of the United States national team, following Argentine Maurício Pochettino, who is preparing to leave his position for a new challenge in his coaching career.

The US Soccer Federation has opened channels of communication with former Manchester City manager in recent times to understand his position on returning to coaching and the possibility of taking charge of the US national team in the upcoming phase.

Pep Guardiola prefers to take a break from the pressures of coaching for a year after leaving Manchester City last summer. This has led him to decline the American offer despite the federation's interest in securing his services.

Maurício Pochettino is set to take over as manager of Manchester United from November 18, replacing coach Michael Carrick, who was recently dismissed due to poor results.
