A unique opportunity arises for fans as Pep Guardiola’s personal office items from Manchester City are being auctioned off. This auction features an eclectic mix of memorabilia that offers a rare glimpse into the life of the iconic manager.

Among the items available are:

• Coffee cups used by Guardiola, creating a direct connection to his time at the club.
• His chair, desk lamp, and whistle, alongside several framed pictures.
• A selection of training tops, his winter jacket, and an intriguing collection of incense sticks, complete with matches.
• Two pitch pads featuring Guardiola’s handwritten strategies, along with his pens.

Notably, the auction highlights a rare commemorative ball celebrating Erling Haaland’s milestone of 100 Premier League goals. Only three of these balls exist, and bidding has already soared into four figures, with the item presented in a display box.

The auction concludes at the end of the week, with proceeds benefiting City in the Community, the club’s charity. Guardiola, who departed City this summer after a decade filled with remarkable achievements—including six Premier League titles and a Champions League win—has been linked with the vacant position of Italy's national team manager.

Following Italy's disappointment in missing out on a third successive World Cup, Paolo Maldini and advisor Leonardo have approached Guardiola to discuss a potential four-year plan, emphasizing project over salary. The FIGC is making concerted efforts to persuade him, with discussions spanning three days.
