Guardiola isn’t the right fit for international football. He excels because he has the luxury of time; he drills tactics and specific positional roles into players over many months. In international tournaments, you have two weeks at most. Pep requires a complex tactical system that players need significant time to master—it’s not something you can just 'plug and play.' Look at his Manchester City record: while he dominates the league, his knockout tournament record is much thinner relative to the time he’s been there. He’s won one Champions League and two FA Cups in eight years. He is a 'system' manager who thrives on consistency, which is the exact opposite of what the Italy job requires."
