Pep Guardiola in 'pole position' to leave 'crisis' at Man City for new job with 'expected' exit
Pep Guardiola is said to have 'returned to pole position' for the Brazil manager job as the Man City boss is targeted as Tite's successor.
Brazil is looking for a new coach after the World Cup. Tite was sacked after the South American nation were knocked out of last year's tournament by Croatia on penalties in the quarter-finals.
Guardiola has previously been linked with the Brazil coaching job, but for now he remains committed to Man City.
His future at City is somewhat uncertain as City have been accused by the Premier League of 'over 100' breaches of their financial rules. This followed a four-year investigation into the conduct of the club.
Now Spanish outlet Sport are reporting that the Brazilian Football Confederation have been "encouraged" by recent news regarding Man City.
They replaced Guardiola as their 'first choice' to succeed Tite amid 'Manchester City's institutional crisis', which is described as 'one of the biggest scandals in English football history'.
Guardiola is said to be 'on the market' given potential Premier League 'sanctions' against Man City.
They are said to want to 'wait until June' to name Tite's replacement, so Guardiola could theoretically stay at City for the rest of this season before moving on.
The report adds: "Brazil remains firm in the idea of breaking with tradition and appointing a foreign coach to help modernize the entire sports structure of the CBF, which would also include the youth teams. "
Earlier this week it was reported that Man City staff 'expect' Guardiola to leave. Speaking last year, Guardiola admitted he would leave Man City if it was proven that the club's hierarchy had lied to him about his finances.
"Why have I stood up for the club and the people? It's because I work with them. When they're accused of something, I ask them, 'Tell me about it. "They explain and I believe them," Guardiola said last May.
"I told them, 'If you lie to me, the next day, I'm not here. I'll be out and I won't be your friend anymore. I trust you because I believe you 100% from day one and I defend the club because of that. '
"When you put something here [sponsor] it's overpaid, but other [clubs] the money comes from the USA but the money is ok, even if it's higher. We have to do in the face of this, we have to fight with this. As always, I am a big fan to support this organization, without a doubt.
"It's a situation in 2012 or 2013, I was still in Barcelona, most of the people racing aren't there now, but of course I wouldn't like that.
"What I like is representing a club that does things right. It's not about winning the Champions League and the Premier League, we want to do well for our people and our fans. "
