Pep Guardiola has bought a new home for himself in Barcelona as his divorce from wife Cristina Serra is almost finalised.

Pep Guardiola gave a tongue-in-cheek response when discussing the ever-changing narrative surrounding the Premier League title race, joking Liverpool are now “done” following their recent run of poor form. The Manchester City manager delivered the wry take when recalling how his side were written off following a start to the season which saw them lose two of their opening three games.
A Manchester City fan tragically died just hours before the club's Champions League match against Villarreal in eastern Spain.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has singled out one of his summer signings for praise ahead of the team's Champions League fixture against La Liga side Villarreal on Tuesday night. The Cityzens spent big over the summer in a bid to strengthen their squad after an underwhelming campaign and Guardiola has been blown away by one player in particular.
Praise continues to flood in for Manchester City phenomenon Erling Haaland, who surpassed 10 Premier League goals in the first eight games of a season for the third time in his career with both goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton at Etihad Stadium. The 25-year-old has already scored an astonishing 23 goals in 13 matches for club and country this season.

Pep Guardiola has named the one player that he'd "love" to have back at Manchester City. City have previously shown a ruthless streak when it comes to cashing on players who no longer wish to play for the club, notably Leroy Sane who left the Premier League side for Bayern Munich in 2020. However, Guardiola has revealed that one "performing unbelievably" he'd welcome back.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has downplayed the impact of a proposed salary cap rule in the Premier League, saying England's top tier will "always be a strong league". The 20 clubs will vote on the new regulations next month. It is believed that City and their local rivals Manchester United are opposed to the idea, and are expected to go against the proposal.
Pep Guardiola has revealed he does not intend to take a break from management until 2035, in a witty response to former Manchester City colleague Carles Planchart's warning that the Catalan should step away from the Etihad and seek a new project to "regenerate". Guardiola emphasised in response that he still has the energy to lead the Cityzens into a new chapter, as his playing squad continues to change and develop.
Pep Guardiola is thrilled to see Jack Grealish getting "back to real business" after leaving Manchester City for a loan spell at Everton. The England international found the going tough towards the end of his stint at the Etihad Stadium, but is playing with a smile on his face again and appears to be well on course to secure a permanent transfer to Merseyside in the summer of 2026.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted he does not know when Rodri will return from injury as he confirmed that the Ballon d'Or winning midfielder will miss Saturday's Premier League clash with Everton.

Ilkay Gundogan, who starred for both Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, has delivered his final verdict on the two legendary managers. Despite describing his bond with the ex-Liverpool manager as like "father and son," the German midfielder explained in an "honest" answer why Guardiola's tactical clarity and possession game ultimately aligns more with his own view of football.
Manchester City are eyeing a move to sign a certain "Brazilian Erling Haaland" with a £87 million ($117m) release clause as Pep Guardiola's side look to the future.

Just 17, the striker from Bahia is already being whispered about as Brazil’s next superstar, but he has plenty of time to reach his potential.
Pep Guardiola has been urged to leave Manchester City and seek a new challenge by one of his most trusted confidants.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hailed Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Fabio Capello as the coaches who “changed football,” while admitting he always wanted to play under Jurgen Klopp and Sir Alex Ferguson. The AC Milan advisor also backed Ancelotti to lead Brazil to 2026 World Cup glory, saying "everything he touches turns to gold".
