Guardiola was offer a massive salary to take the Juventus job
With every passing day, we are inching closer to Maurizio Sarri's appointment in Turin. However, it now appears that the Italian was not the first choice to take over at Juventus. We earlier broke the news that Juventus fans were still hopefully of getting Pep Guardiola for the hot seat, however, Manchester City had bluntly dismissed those rumours. It appears, though, that the Spaniard actually was in Juventus' plans.

Guardiola was offered a huge salary package to manage Juventus next season, according to reports surfacing from Italy. As per the contract put forward, he would have earned a mammoth £20m per year! It was far higher than what he currently earns at Manchester City. However, Guardiola has politely refused the offer and instead, prefers to continue with his project at Manchester City.
The Spaniard has been a huge hit at the Etihad and has transformed City into one of the best teams in Europe on current form. But European success has still eluded him in his three seasons in charge of the Citizens, and maybe that is the challenge he wants to complete before moving on.
As of now, Juventus might have to be content with Sarri for next season.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
