- Arsenal manager has strong ‘feeling’ for the country
- Guardiola does not rule out managing national team
Mikel Arteta has suggested he would consider managing England at some point in the future because of “the feeling” he has for the country as Pep Guardiola refused to rule out taking over a national team when he leaves Manchester City.
The Arsenal manager, who once explored the possibility of switching allegiances from Spain to England as a player when Fabio Capello was in charge, confirmed he was not one of the 10 candidates interviewed by the Football Association in its search for Gareth Southgate’s successor. Arteta welcomed the appointment of Thomas Tuchel and said although he understood the argument that the England manager should be homegrown, he dismissed suggestions that it was an indictment of coaching standards in this country.
