Manchester City has put Guardiola's memorabilia up for auction
Manchester City has put up for auction items left behind by head coach Josep Guardiola. Among the items up for auction are his training jacket, office furniture, personal accessories, and a soccer ball autographed by Erling Haaland to commemorate his anniversary.
The English soccer club Manchester City has put up for auction items that belonged to the team’s former head coach, Josep Guardiola. The items up for auction are those left in the Spanish coach’s office after he left the club.
Among the lots are Guardiola’s training jacket, his office chair, a desk lamp, a set of coffee mugs, a collection of incense, a whistle, a photograph, and other personal items. The club expects these items to attract the interest of collectors and Manchester City fans. Another lot has drawn particular attention: a soccer ball autographed by Erling Haaland. It was with this very ball that the Norwegian forward scored his 100th goal for Manchester City.
According to the auction organizers, a bid of 3,000 euros has already been placed on this lot, but bidding is still ongoing, so the final amount may increase. Pep Guardiola left Manchester City at the end of the 2025–26 season, bringing to a close his ten-year tenure with the English club. During that time, the Spanish coach became one of the most successful managers in the team’s history. Together with Manchester City, he won 20 trophies, including six English Premier League titles and the 2022/23 Champions League.
It was under Guardiola that City became one of Europe’s strongest clubs and regularly competed for all major titles. The club has now decided to give fans the opportunity to purchase memorabilia associated with one of the most successful periods in the team’s history. For collectors, this is a chance to acquire items used by the coach who led Manchester City to its greatest victories, according to Reuters.
As a reminder, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) have classified the World Cup semifinal match between England and Argentina as a high-risk game.
Argentina could face sanctions following its celebration of the victory over England.
