Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants England to take the “last step” and win the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament.
It is recalled that England qualified for next year’s competition in North America with ease.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are in Group L alongside Ghana, Croatia and Panama.
When asked to name favourites to win the World Cup, Guardiola said, as quoted by Sky Sports: “The same ones. Everybody knows. We will be in agreement about the candidates if we name the same four or five candidates. I would like England to be there.
“I don’t want to pretend to be too nice, but I’ve been here for many years and been part of the country. I would love Thomas and the people to make the last step and do it.”
