Del Bosque backs Guardiola to manage Spain in the future

The departing Del Bosque thinks that the current Manchester City boss is one of the best managers around and would be a fantastic candidate for the Spain national team in the future. 

"Guardiola is the best coach around at the moment, there is no doubt about it. He got a great education and has since only developed," Del Bosque told 'Suddeutsche Zeitung'.

"In the past, we brought in coaches from abroad. Now our coaches are the ones moving abroad. We are proud of someone like Guardiola. We could never have imagined this a few years ago". 

With regards to Guardiola being Catalan, Del Bosque does not think that this would be an issue and if anything, could be positive for Spanish football. 

"I don't see any reason why Guardiola could not coach Spain. Of course, he is Catalan, but is it not our job to unify people? It would be great if football could help bringing Catalunya and the rest of the country closer again," he added.
