Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano has admitted Pep Guardiola could take a job in Italy.

The Catalan manager has had immense success coaching in Spain, Germany and England.

Soriano was speaking at a press conference unveiling City Group's majority stakeholder purchase in Serie B side Palermo.

"He asked if it's sunny in Palermo. Perhaps, he will work here one day," Soriano was quoted by Calciomercato.

"He knows everything we do and he knows Italian football well. Like the others, he is excited about the deal."

Guardiola's contract with City expires in the summer of 2023.
