The only authorised story of Pep Guardiola’s triumphant reign at Manchester City: as close to Guardiola as you can get.
‘Write about everything you see. Be as critical as you like.’ This is what Pep Guardiola told the journalist Marti Perarnau in 2023, when Perarnau arrived to spend a season as an insider at Bayern Munich. In the ten years since, he has followed Pep Guardiola across Europe, and since 2016 has been a fly on the wall at Manchester City, where Guardiola has broken records and revolutionised the Premier League with his radical managerial style.
This is the long-awaited, access-all-areas story of Pep Guardiola’s time at Manchester City, telling every twist and turn of their journey to the top and providing the definitive lessons of Guardiola’s leadership. The only true insider account, it’s an essential read for any football fan, and any reader in search of the lessons of one of sport’s great leaders.
