Sergio Aguero explains why Pep Guardiola would struggle as an international manager

The 52-year-old has been linked with a number of international management roles.

Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero would love to see current City manager Pep Guardiola take charge of the Argentina national team, but believes he may struggle when it comes to the lack of time he gets to spend with players.

Throughout his managerial career Guardiola has been known to be someone who is very intense as a coach who looks to implement pitch perfect strategies and this has paid off with him bringing swathes of silverware to Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City. 

However, if Guardiola decided to take charge of a national team, the fact that games are infrequent unless it's a tournament could work against him which was something Aguero highlighted. 

"Obviously, as an Argentinian, yes, it would be really good if he could be the Argentina national coach but well, I don’t know," Aguero told Stake.com when asked about the prospect of Guardiola becoming manager of Argentina. 

"And I think that with that Pep style of play, in a national team, I think he would miss the training sessions. I mean, the thing of teaching players and coordinating things that he wants to do with a team, it doesn’t have that."

Guardiola's managerial contract at City is set to end in the summer of 2025, and if he does decide to leave the club, there will no doubt be a host of coaching offers including the England national team which the 52-year-old has been recently linked with once Gareth Southgate's tenure comes to an end.
