Where is Benjamin Mendy? That was the question on everyone’s lips at Manchester City on Friday. City manager Pep Guardiola was unsure of Mendy’s whereabouts ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown against Chelsea, with the French left-back recovering from a knee injury. Mendy, who had been granted permission to travel in Europe, appeared to suggest he was at Hong Kong International Airport in an Instagram story on Friday. The 24-year-old maintained the mystery over his whereabouts as City team-mate Kyle Walker joined the fun via social media. With the hashtag #WheresMendy, the France international raised more eyebrows over his location in a Twitter post which appeared to suggest he was in Dubai. Later, it turned out that the defender was in Hong Kong on the next leg of his globe-trotting journey.

<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.
