Serie A is badly missing the leadership that Manchester
City-bound Pep Guardiola could offer it, says Carlo
Mazzone, who coached the current Bayern Munich boss
during his playing days at Brescia.
Guardiola's impending summer switch to the Etihad Stadium from the German giants was confirmed on Monday and Mazzone expects him to continue his enormous success in the Premier League.
The 78-year-old, however, would dearly love to see his old
friend try his hand at coaching in Italy, where the biggest
clubs have struggled to make sustained impact on European
competition in recent years.
"I hope he does well in the Premier League," Mazzone
told Goal of Guardiola. "I know him well and I think he will do
the right things.
"[Could he coach in Italy? That's a] complex question. I
haven't spoken with him for a long time and I wouldn't like
to get him in trouble but I would like to send him a message
through the media: 'Pep, you must come to Italy because we
need to build good victories as you used to do!'
"Roma? That would be the biggest gift I could ever have; I
wouldn't like to be disrespectful to the current Roma coach
but everyone knows my friendship [with Pep]. You must
come to Roma, OK!"
