Manchester City is currently one of the biggest clubs in the world, with certainly one of the best squads. The club has employed a smart transfer strategy along with recruiting one of the greatest coaches of all time in FC Barcelona legend, Pep Guardiola. Under the Spanish manager, the club has won three Premier League titles and a domestic treble too. They are now chasing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title this season as they play [https://www.marca.com/en/football/manchester-city/2022/03/08/62279030268e3e042d8b45fc.html] against Sporting in the Round-of-16 of the competition this season. GUARDIOLA SAYS KYLE WALKER ‘DESERVED’ HIS RED CARD The first leg of the tie was a cakewalk for City as they beat the club 5-0 in the first leg. The only blip on that fantastic performance was Kyle Walker’s red card, which got him banned for three games. Guardiola spoke about it before the second leg in the interview and revealed how angry he was with Walker. Guardiola said that the England right-back did a stupid thing and that he deserves the ban he got. “He deserves it. Kyle Walker deserves a three-match ban. If one player does this stupid thing, he deserves a three-game ban. I’m sorry. I’m not so kind to Kyle with this kind of action. Still, I’m so angry with him. So angry! No no, he knows. There’s nothing to discuss about that,” he said. PEP GUARDIOLA HOPES THAT WALKER WILL LEARN FROM THIS Guardiola went on to say how important the defender has been for Manchester City, especially in the Manchester derby. Walker’s red card came near the end of the match when City were already cruising to victory. The club appealed the ban, but Guardiola revealed that he did not agree with the decision to do so. He brought up the fact that the ban was similar for two other instances, and he hoped that Walker would learn from this in the future. “He’s so important, Kyle Walker for us. You see the game he played against United? But Leipzig, qualified already, 75-80 minutes and made this kind of action. So he deserves the three games. The club appealed, but I did not agree. Hopefully, he’ll learn in the future,” Guardiola concluded.

<strong>Josep 'Pep' Guardiola</strong> is a Spanish football manager and former professional player, who is the current coach of the English club Manchester City FC.
<h3><strong>Career and Achievements</strong></h3>
After kicking it off with FC Barcelona's academy at the age of 13, Guardiola made his senior debut in 1990. As a defensive midfielder, he had notable stints at Barcelona, Brescia, and AS Roma in Italy, Al Ahli SC in Qatar, and Dorados in Mexico. In his international career, Guardiola played for the Spanish national team and a few friendlies for Catalonia. Although his playing career was nothing short of remarkable, Guardiola as a manager towers over it.

When he took on a managerial role, his first assignment was the Barcelona B team in 2007. A year later, he was promoted to manager of the senior team. In Barcelona's most glorious days, to lead them to records and titles including sextuple, Guardiola was at the helm. More importantly, under Guardiola, Barcelona became highly disciplined with more focus on ball possession. He also employed a disciplined and aggressive pressing style which clearly worked out well.

He often played a high defensive line with the fullbacks pushing high up their respective sides. During the 2011-12 season, Guardiola employed the 3-4-3 line-up, especially when facing two attackers. Following the same season, he took a year-long sabbatical.

In 2013, Guardiola returned to manage Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. He remained with the team until the 2015-16 season. With the Bavarians, he won 3 Bundesliga, DFB-Pokals, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

After leaving Bayern in 2016, he signed with Manchester City in the Premier League and their sagacious tale still goes on, having won many trophies including 5 EPL titles, and a UCL so far.
<h3>Pep Guardiola's Net Worth in 2024</h3>
Pep Guardiola's current net worth is slated to be approximately <strong>$25 Million</strong>. The 53-year-old's fortunes come mainly from his salaries and bonuses from Manchester City as well as the brand endorsements and other sponsorship deals.
