The FA has kept an open mind about who they will hire next and saw Carsley as a real option. But recently, people have thought that he might not be ready for the top job based on how he acts in public.

England would not match Guardiola’s current £20 million salary at City, which could be a big problem.

But being the head coach of England is one of the best paid jobs as an international coach in the world. For example, Southgate made about £6 million a year.

The FA are also aware that City is currently fighting what they say are 115 violations of the Premier League’s financial rules. They are also aware of how these results could affect any official move to hire Guardiola.

The Football Association has had a lot of problems with past head coaches. Most recently, Sam Allardyce had to quit after only one game when he was caught giving tips on how to get around the rules about player transfers set by the FA.

There is no evidence that Guardiola is involved in the claims that City is currently denying. However, the FA is aware of the case’s popularity and how it might affect English football right now.The Football Association talked to Pep Guardiola, the boss of Manchester City, over the summer as they look to hire someone from outside of England to be head coach.

There are signs from the governing body that Lee Carsley, who is currently the interim head coach, will not be named the next regular head coach of the national team.

Many people at the FA have long thought that Guardiola would be the “dream” person to replace Gareth Southgate, who quit after eight years as manager after Euro 2024.

In September, Mail Sport reported that the FA had begun making secret inquiries about hiring outside candidates. Guardiola was one of those people contacted before the season began.

Guardiola’s contract with City ends in the summer, and it doesn’t look like he’ll be leaving before then. This could be a problem for the FA because England has six games before then, though Carsley is already committed to the games against Greece and Ireland in November.

Still, some of the most important people in the FA think that waiting for Guardiola would be worth it.

There are different public statements from Carsley about whether he wants the job permanently or not. This has made the FA even less sure that he is the right person to replace Southgate permanently.
