Known for his tactical acumen and his extensive knowledge of the game, very little is known about Pep Guardiola’s life off the pitch.
In light of this, we look at the Spaniard’s cars since taking over as Manchester City manager in 2016.
The 48-year-old is a serial title winner, stemming from his time with FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now City, but even the great Pep, cannot resist the throttle of fast cars.
According to international publications, Guardiola is not renowned for his driving prowess and has had his fair share of accidents in the UK.

Road hog Pep, 52, has damaged an £80,000 black Mercedes GLE, a £150,000 Range Rover, a £200,000 silver Bentley GTX700 and a £30,000 Mini Cooper.
Authors Lu Martin and Pol Ballus wrote in the 2019 book Pep’s City: The Making Of A Superteam: “Today he’s behind the wheel of his black Mercedes.
“He has a reputation from his Barcelona days of being a hapless driver and this is his fourth car he has owned since coming to Manchester.
“His wing mirrors don’t survive for long and he’s also managed to fill a diesel Range Rover with petrol and mangle a silver Bentley.”
A source said: “Pep is brilliant at many things but driving doesn’t appear to be one of them.
“He’s struggled with the roads in Manchester and had a couple of bumps.”
In November 2018, The Sun on Sunday told how Pep had a car share with backroom staff.
It saw the Spaniard, who arrived at City in 2016, travel to City’s training ground in a £28,000 Nissan Leaf.
