The FA once chose Roy Hodgson over Pep Guardiola - they cannot afford to miss out on Man City boss again when he can end our 60 years of hurt, writes IAN HERBERT

Daily Mail  

The England manager’s job held out a fascination for Pep Guardiola more than a decade ago and when the chance to attempt to recruit him arose, the Football Association blew it. An intermediary contacted David Bernstein, then the FA chairman, on Pep Guardiola's behalf, during the search for Fabio Capello's successor The FA did not follow up the inquiry and instead hired former Fulham and Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson The FA are not displaying such a staggering lack of curiosity this time, having made informal contact with Guardiola’s representatives - we now know - at the start of the season. Considering Guardiola is understood to be commanding £20million a year at Manchester City – a quarter of the FA’s entire current salary outlay – it doesn’t take a genius to compute what the counter-arguments of going for Pep might be. But Guardiola’s presence would also pay an immense commercial dividend to an England who find themselves fighting for relevance, visibility and razzle dazzle in the face of the Premier League juggernaut. Guardiola is understood to be commanding £20million a year at Manchester City – a quarter of the FA’s entire current salary outlay The Spaniard has been managing the Premier League for the past eight years and has won six titles in that time In 2012, there was a sense from Spain that the England job piqued Guardiola’s curiosity because of the potential cachet of succeeding where Capello and Sven-Goran Eriksson had failed.
