Andrea Pirlo Nears Italy Job Following Guardiola Rejection
In Italy, the national football federation moved quickly to secure a new leader. According to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Pep Guardiola declined an offer to manage the Italian national team.
Following Guardiola’s refusal, the federation turned to former player Andrea Pirlo. Reports indicate that Pirlo has already reached a verbal agreement to step in and take charge of the squad.
Squad Planning Decisions at São Paulo and Palmeiras
At club level, roster management remains active across Brazil. At São Paulo, striker André Silva drew interest from other clubs, including Internacional. However, the player rejected the approaches because he wants to remain with the Paulista club, acting as a reserve behind Calleri. According to club reports, this commitment pleased the São Paulo board of directors.
Meanwhile, Palmeiras altered its transfer strategy. Following the termination of negotiations with Botafogo for Danilo, the club decided against pursuing alternative reinforcements. Both the coaching staff and management share the view that the existing squad, built since last year, remains fully capable of competing for every championship.
