From the Inside Flap
'Pep' Guardiola is the most charismatic and successful manager in club football this century, and this entertainingly perceptive biography explains why.
Guardiola started his footballing career as a much-acclaimed midfielder who spent the majority of his playing career with FC Barcelona. After retiring as a player and travelling the world, he became a coach of the reserve team of FC Barcelona and a year later he was chosen first-team manager in 2008. He led the club in year after year of successes (he won 13 of the 16 competitions the club entered under his realm) and became the youngest-ever winning manager of the Champions League. Guardiola earned a string of awards as coach and manager of Barcelona culminating in January 2012 when he was awarded the FIFA World Coach of the Year. At the end of the 2012 season he resigned after four years of unprecedented achievement. Every football fan wants to know where he will go and what he will do next.
Some call it revolution, others evolution, but in any case the influence of Guardiola goes beyond football. He represents a style, a club, a country and even values, at a time when they are scarce. Guillem Balague's insightful book tells how Pep Guardiola did it, playing the Beautiful Game - and winning.
