The highly anticipated meeting has sparked speculation about Guardiola's potential return to international football, following his successful stint with Barcelona and Manchester City. While details of the discussions remain scarce, sources close to the federation suggest that Guardiola is seriously considering the role, which would be a significant coup for Italian football. However, it remains to be seen whether the former Barcelona boss will accept the position, and the FIGC's appointment process is far from over.
