Brazil want to hire as their next manager and are confident that they can snap up the boss to replace Tite, who is set to leave after the 2022 .

It has already been confirmed that Tite will lead Brazil to Qatar and then step down from the post he has held since 2016.

Spanish publication report that the Brazilian Football Association have hatched an ambitious plan to tempt Guardiola into international management.

According to the report, they have already contacted Pep’s agent, his brother Pere, and are willing to offer Pep a salary of €12m (£10m).

It would be a pay cut from the reported €20m (£16.7m) he is currently paid at the Etihad, but still a huge amount for an international manager.

Brazil want to offer the Spaniard a contract that would run for four years until the 2026 World Cup, held in USA, Canada and Mexico.

While any move for Guardiola is still at an early stage, the report states that the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) is confident they can get their man.

Guardiola is under contract at Manchester City until the end of the 2022/23 season, so he would not be in a position to take over Brazil immediately after the World Cup if he stays for the remainder of that deal.

Brazil may try and tempt him to leave City a year early, or stay on until 2023 and join over that summer.
