Ever wanted to learn the secret to Pep Guardiola’s success? Well now you can by purchasing his debut novel, ‘Pep’s three step guide to success’.

Guardiola established himself as one of Europe’s most prosperous ever coaches during his stints at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and has continued his exceptional record at Manchester City.

Pep joined City in the summer of 2016, and after a difficult first season, has now taken his side to the top of English football. City are 15 points clear at the head of the Premier League table with eight games to play and have already secured the Carabao Cup.

And with the Spaniard to set to add the 23rd major honour of his managerial career to his trophy cabinet, Guardiola has put pen to paper to try to help others emulate his success.

The four-page long opus is broken down into three chronologically ordered chapters named: ‘Take over a big team’, ‘Spend spend spend’ and ‘quit while your winning’, while a fourth bonus chapter entitled ‘Jose Mourinho’s a prick’ completes the publication.

Speaking at the book’s official release last week, Guardiola said: “It’s an honour to be able to share my secrets with others.

“As you all know, I’m a special guy, and a special manager. I’m also exceptionally handsome, and have an incredible relationship with the media. And with my players. I’m just great. Did I mention I’m handsome?

“Anyway, enough about me. Go buy my book.”

All money raised from the sale of Guardiola’s book is expected to go directly back into Manchester City’s transfer kitty.

Jose Mourinho’s book ‘How to hurt a fatty: the Luke Shaw story’ is expected to be released later this year.
