Pep Guardiola has handed every member of Manchester City’s support staff a £10,000 bonus for their continued hard work.

Following years of success in both England and across Europe, Guardiola has issued a token of appreciation for every member of staff who works in the first-team training complex at City. According to a report from The Times, between 60 and 70 people were surprised with the £10,000 bonus from the Manchester City boss including chefs, receptionists, physiotherapists, kit men, baristas and security staff.

During Guardiola’s eight years in Manchester, he has forged a sense of togetherness between the players and staff. As well as the Spaniard’s bonus, the players put together a pool at the end of every season for the team behind the scenes. The head coach has previously expressed that the positive environment across the whole of the club has been a key factor in their continued success.

Man City are aiming for their fifth Premier League title in a row but have some work to do if they are to take the crown for most consecutive titles won across Europe’s top five divisions. Bayern Munich currently hold the record, winning the Bundesliga 11 times in a row between 2012-2023.

After winning both of their first two games in the 2024-25 Premier League season, champions City will return to the capital on Saturday as they take on West Ham at the London Stadium.
