What are the chances of getting him?
Guardiola has one year left on his contract at City and has often talked about his desire to manage a national team at a major tournament. As a proud Catalan, it is unlikely he would ever manage Spain due to political reasons.
England have long since broken the tradition of sticking with English managers and Guardiola could easily set up a base in London but spend a lot of his time with family in Barcelona. He would have top players, too, so there are plenty of reasons it could happen.
How does he play and is he a good fit tactically?
In theory, he is a good fit tactically because of what the England players are used to at their clubs and how English football overall has developed in the past decade, partly due to Guardiola’s own influence.
Guardiola would be the man to come in and complete the cycle of English football’s evolution.
How would it be received?
For all the memes and generally tribal-driven dislike of Guardiola in some quarters, appointing him England manager would probably be regarded as a dream come true for the vast majority of England fans.
He is as close to a guarantee of success as you can get and he would make England truly feared. The average football fan does generally seem to prefer more open, chaotic football, though, and there might be a cultural clash at some point.
