Press Conference
Manchester City face Leeds in the Premier League on Tuesday, looking to make it seven Premier League wins in a row.
Pep Guardiola gave an update on his squad ahead of Manchester City’s latest Premier League fixture against Leeds on Tuesday night.
City maintained their lead at the top of the table with a hard-fought win over Wolves on Saturday, their sixth Premier League win in a row.
Dorados
Pep Guardiola’s playing career ended with a brief stint at Mexican side Dorados de Sinaloa and Eliseo ‘Chevo’ Martinez has recalled the great generosity of the Manchester City coach. The club are back in the news this week after one of the game’s iconic figures Diego Maradona agreed a deal to take over as new coach.
Martinez, who currently works on security at their home stadium, was tasked with assisting Guardiola during his short time in Mexico. “When he arrived, I didn’t know who he was and then I started to check and saw him and noticed he was from another level as his way of touching the ball was so impressive,” Martinez told ESPN.
“Pep was very generous. I remember he gave me envelopes with money so that I could give them to people from the club who had helped him. “I remember that a boy gave him 500 pesos and he told him that with what they gave he would go see him play and I explained that it was not an offence because Pep did not know how to take that answer.”
Even as a player at the end of playing days, Guardiola was also extremely focused on analysing the game and was already plotting his foray into coaching.
Where is from
Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is non-religious. Guardiola met his wife when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014. They have three children named Maria, Màrius, and Valentina. Following his tenure as Barcelona’s manager, he stated that he would move to the United States to live in Manhattan, New York, for a year, until he decided on his future.
His current home is located in the Deansgate CitySuites in central Manchester. The building is 16 storeys high and holds 237 one and two-bedroom apartments, all of which comes with their own well-fitted kitchens and a large living room area.
