Brazil legend Ronaldo Nazario has urged the country’s football authorities to make an attempt to appoint Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as the national team coach.
Ronaldo believes Guardiola’s tactical expertise and experience at the highest level could make him an ideal candidate to lead Brazil.
The national team has continued searching for stability on the coaching front, with expectations always high because of Brazil’s rich football history.
Guardiola has established himself as one of the most successful managers in modern football. His teams have consistently competed for major trophies while playing an attractive and possession-based style.
Ronaldo believes Brazil should therefore explore the possibility of bringing the Spaniard to the national team.
Appointing Guardiola would represent an ambitious move by the Brazilian Football Confederation, although persuading him to leave Manchester City would be a significant challenge.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has spent much of his career working in club football, where he has enjoyed considerable success.
Brazil, meanwhile, continue to face pressure to return to the top of international football.
Ronaldo’s recommendation reflects the desire among some Brazilian football figures for a major coaching appointment capable of transforming the team.
Whether Guardiola would be interested in taking charge of Brazil remains uncertain, but the idea would undoubtedly attract huge attention.
For now, the proposal remains an ambitious suggestion, but Ronaldo believes Brazil should at least make the attempt.
