Alejandro Sabella got the job and Guardiola is currently enjoying managing Aguero at Manchester City but the striker says he still wants to coach Argentina one day.

Aguero said: "Guardiola said to me that though they haven't called him, he would love to coach the Argentina team."

Guardiola took over from Manuel Pellegrini as the City boss in the summer after three successful years at Bayern Munich.

And he has made an instant impact as the Spaniard has led his team to the summit of the Premier League.

That included getting one over old rival Jose Mourinho as City beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford.

And Zenit St Petersburg coach Mircea Lucescu has claimed Guardiola is more arrogant than Mourinho.

Lucescu said: "Mourinho is an amazing guy, but my way of understanding football is totally different because I have an offensive mentality.

"All my teams have broken records for goals. Mourinho seems more arrogant than Guardiola but it is exactly the opposite.

"Either way, both are great coaches."
