GUARD OF HONOUR

PEP Guardiola is recognised as the game’s best manager, and probably the most stylish.

The fiercely proud Catalonian, 53, has led Manchester City to the Premier League title six times.

He has also won the Champions League three times – twice with Barcelona and once with the Premier League giants.

Pep’s contract runs out in the summer at the Etihad, but there is a belief that he will sign an extension in the summer.

That could mean an increase on his reported £20million-per-year salary.

That astronomical amount allows Guardiola, who is believed to be worth around £100million, live a lavish lifestyle.

Here’s what the football manager loves to splash his cash on.

Luxury apartment

Back in 2017, as Pep began his assault on English football he needed to find a base to settle down in.

After spending most of his life in Barcelona as a player and coach, bustling city life was important to him.

That’s why he chose to buy a stylish apartment in Manchester’s City Suites for £2.7million, instead of going for a leafy mansion somewhere in Cheshire.

Found in Salford, it’s the city’s most desired abode, and sits next to a wealth of designer shops, high-end restaurants and wine bars.

Amenities include an 18-metre indoor spa pool, an exquisite spa and sauna facilities as well as a 24-hour gym.

The building also boasts a round-the-clock concierge, two private parking spaces, dry-cleaning services and access to a private executive lounge.

It is believed Pep’s digs are in a private part of the building and occupy two floors.

Pep’s property portfolio expands to a 8,000-square-foot mansion in Pedarlbes, one of Barcelona’s most desired in areas, that cost him £8.5m back in 2021.

While when he went on a sabbatical in 2012, he rented a stunning New York apartment that overlooked Central Park and cost a whopping £19,500 to rent a month.

X Files actor David Duchovny and legendary singer and actress Barbara Streisand reportedly lived in the same building.

Incredible watches

In recent months, Pep has really upped his watch game.

We know he has a penchant for Richard Mille timepieces – the most costly on the market.

One of those he was spotted on the golf course wearing –  a RM 27-01 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal worth a cool £600,000.

Other watches in his collection include a £455,000 RM 022 Tourbillon Aerodyne, a £75,000 RM 010 ‘Manchester City’, the RM 004 All Gray, which cost over £150,000, and a RM67-02 with a £230,000 price tag.  — Sun
