The international bestselling biography of Pep Guardiola - fully updated to include his time at Manchester City

After a decade-long stint as manager of Manchester City, following trophy-laden spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola has cemented his reputation as the most successful football manager of all time. Under his management, Manchester City have become a giant of the modern game, dominating in England and on the European stage. Guillem Balagué has followed Pep's career from the very outset and has had direct access to the man, his inner circle, his assistant managers, coaches and players, allowing him to construct an unrivalled biography of the person who has changed football forever.

From Pep's playing career and his tutelage under legendary managers Johan Cruyff, Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal to journeying into the dugout himself, transforming Barcelona into one of the greatest club sides of all time, and continuing his unparalleled success at Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Guillem's biography traces Pep's life in its entirety. Guillem delves into Pep's mind to show how his tactical philosophy has continually evolved to combat those of his greatest rivals, like the counter-attacking system favoured by José Mourinho or the gegenpressing of Jürgen Klopp, ensuring he has remained at the heights of the sport.

This is nothing less than the definitive portrait of Pep Guardiola and his relentless pursuit of footballing perfection.
