Guardiola rejects Inter Miami approach amid Messi reunion

Pep Guardiola has reportedly turned down an approach from Inter Miami, ending hopes of a reunion with Lionel Messi in the MLS. The Spanish manager was David Beckham's top target to replace Javier Mascherano, but Guardiola is not ready to return to club management.

Reports suggest the decision is based on timing rather than a desire to avoid working with Messi again. After a decade at Manchester City, Guardiola seeks a break from the daily pressures of the game.

This move closes the door on one of the most anticipated potential reunions in modern football history.
