The former Barcelona boss is currently on a sabbatical with his family in New York, but this has not stopped speculation linking him with several teams around the world.
While Guardiola is currently one of the most sought after coaches in football, Marin does not think that A Seleccao need a foreign boss to succeed.
"I find it hard [to believe] that Brazil's next coach will be a foreign," he told Terra. "I have the greatest respect for Guardiola, but Brazil has won all of its five World Cups with Brazilian coaches.
"I haven't talked to any [possible coaches] yet. I'm waiting for the end of Brasileirao. A decision might be made in January, in which case I will talk to reporters in a press conference and announce the new coach.
"The next coach must have an adequate profile to lead Brazil to its top goal, which is winning the 2014 World Cup."
