PEP Guardiola is known as the best manager in the game, and perhaps the most stylish.
The fiercely proud Catalan, 53, led Manchester City to six Premier League titles.

He has also won the Champions League three times, twice with Barcelona and once with the Premier League giants.
Pep’s contract at the Etihad expires this summer, but it is thought that he will sign an extension in the summer.
This could mean a reported £20m annual salary increase.
That astronomical sum allows Guardiola, who is thought to be worth around £100m, to live a life of luxury.
Here’s what football managers like to spend their money on:
luxury apartment
Back in 2017, Pep had begun his attack on English football and needed to find a home to settle down.
After spending most of his life as a player and coach in Barcelona, the bustling city life was important to him.
That’s why, instead of buying a leafy mansion somewhere in Cheshire, he opted to buy a stylish apartment in Manchester’s City Suites for £2.7 million.
The city’s most sought after residence in Salford, next to a wealth of designer shops, fine dining and wine bars.

Amenities include an 18-meter indoor spa pool, excellent spa and sauna facilities, and a 24-hour gym.
The building also features a 24-hour concierge, two private parking spaces, dry cleaning services, and access to a private executive lounge.
Pep’s excavation site is believed to be in a private part of the building, occupying the second floor.
Pep’s property portfolio has expanded to include an 8,000 sq ft mansion in Pedalves, one of Barcelona’s most coveted areas, for which he spent £8.5 million in 2021.
Meanwhile, when he went on sabbatical in 2012, he rented a stunning New York apartment overlooking Central Park, which cost a whopping £19,500 a month.
‘The X-Files’ actor David Duchovny and legendary singer and actress Barbara Streisand reportedly lived in the same building.

great watch
Pep has really improved his game on the clock in recent months.
We know that he prefers Richard Mille watches, which are the most expensive on the market.
One of the things he was spotted wearing on the golf course is the RM 27-01 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, which is worth £600,000.
His collection also includes the RM 022 Tourbillon Aerodyne for £455,000, the RM 010 ‘Manchester City’ for £75,000, the RM 004 All Gray for over £150,000 and the £230,000 price tag. There are RM67-02 with .

family life
Family life is very important to Pep, especially when he takes time off from work after a busy football season.
In the summer, he often takes his wife Christina and their children Maria, Marius and Valentina on glamorous vacations.
Back in 2023, after winning the Triple Crown, he had an amazing experience in Egypt, touring Cairo and Luxor, and visiting the Sphinx and Great Pyramid at Giza.
Pep met her at her parents’ fashion store when she was 18 years old.
The then Barcelona youth star was trying on clothes when their eyes caught on each other.
In 2014, the two finally walked down the aisle of City Hall on the outskirts of Barcelona.

car
With all the money Guardiola has earned in the world, it’s no surprise that he has an impressive collection of cars.
However, given the high-octane football he plays, it would be surprising to hear that he is not the best driver.
Last year we reported that he had damaged cars worth a total of £460,000 since joining Man City in February 2016.
These included a £200,000 silver Bentley, a GTX700, a £150,000 Range Rover, an £80,000 black Mercedes GLE and a £30,000 Mini Cooper.
A source said: “Pep is good at many things, but driving isn’t one of them. He has had a hard time on Manchester’s roads and has had a few crashes.”
Most recently, he was seen driving a Nissan Leaf worth £30,000.

king of fashion
Coaching on the touchline is increasingly becoming a trend.
If they’re not wearing a nice suit (think Simone Inzaghi), go for the cargo pants and hoodie or sweatshirt look.
Pep suggests the latter, wearing his favorite gray hoodie from luxury Italian designer Herno.
The manager has been seen numerous times from 2019 until today wearing oversized items that are considered “lucky” by fans.
Pep is also pictured on a jumper with ‘MDCR’ (for ‘Madchester’), a range of items bearing the letter ‘P’ and even a £250 CP Company jumper.
Earlier this year, he revealed that his wife is a fashion guru.

Guardiola admitted that his fashionable wife Cristina is his stylist
“My wife is the best in the world in many ways, but especially in fashion. So she tells me normally don’t wear this, don’t wear this, so I dress her like Follow.
“I’m smart enough to know that when someone else is much better than me, I should follow their advice, and her advice is really good.”
