Roy Keane Urges England FA to Appoint Pep Guardiola as Next Manager, Leaving Arsenal Fans Excited
Roy Keane has suggested that the English FA should target Pep Guardiola as the next England manager, following Gareth Southgate’s departure.
During a discussion on ITV Sport, Keane expressed his belief that Guardiola, who is currently managing Manchester City, would be the ideal candidate for the role.
His recommendation came amid speculation about who might permanently replace Southgate, with interim manager Lee Carsley set to lead the team until November.
Keane’s call for Guardiola’s appointment might not sit well with Manchester City fans, especially as they have shown their support for the Spaniard to stay at the club.
Guardiola himself has hinted that he is open to extending his stay at City, where he has been since 2016, although he has not ruled out the possibility of moving on in the future.
Arsenal fans, in particular, might be pleased with Keane’s suggestion, as Guardiola’s tactical brilliance and influence in English football align well with the attacking and dynamic style of play that Mikel Arteta, a former assistant to Guardiola, has brought to the Gunners.
If Guardiola were to take charge of England, it could further elevate the competitive standards of the Premier League, which would benefit clubs like Arsenal in the long run.
