Pep Guardiola wanted to coach Brazil

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola wanted to coach Brazil at last year's
World Cup, says defender Dani Alves.
The Barcelona full-back said his former boss at the Nou Camp had a plan
to make the hosts world champions again.
But Alves claimed Brazilian football officials were afraid of hiring a
foreign coach for the national side.
"Pep said he wanted to make Brazil a World Cup champion and had an
entire strategy to make us a world champion," the 32-year-old told ESPN
Brasil.
"They didn't want it, because they said that they didn't know if Brazil would accept a foreign coach."
Alves described the 44-year-old as the "best coach in the world".
He added: "He revolutionised football, revolutionised a team, and we had
the chance to have him with us.
"If you let an opportunity like this go by, then you are not really thinking
about the national team."
Under Guardiola, Barcelona established themselves as the dominant force
in club football, winning 14 trophies in four seasons including two
Champions League crowns.
He left in June 2012 and was appointed Bayern Munich coach the
following summer, leading the German side to back-to-back league titles.
